Thanks a lot to colleagues who reviewed "Assassin". I made this photo
last month, after accidentally finding the bug while looking for spiders
in my mother's garden. It was my first time to see this thing -- what a
lucky day. Possibly rare species.

The size of the insect is about 1/5 of the online version. To photograph
it, I enclosed it with a Hoya 82mm UV filter, which I then placed in a
freezer for about five minutes, to keep the bug still, since it was kind

It was walking upside-down on the filter wall for awhile. But when it
was still, I took the filter with the bug out in bright shade and took
several shots.

I reckoned later that it would have been better to put the bug in a
carton box instead, and to keep the filter out of the freezer, because
tiny water droplets developed on the f Do you Yahoo!?
