A young assassin lurks in the green world,
a Zelus nymph with rostrum held ready,
tiny demon death dealer.

    I’m awestruck! I’m buying this green creature's portrait to keep during the cold gray days to come. Simply lovely.

    It’s gorgeous, Rick. The greens are there to enjoy all winter. I need a copy of the Mighty Zelus for those cold gray days. Ring it up for me, Ok?

    Thanks Denice. I love assassin bugs, but don’t see them often enough.

    I was surprised I saw so few this year, perhaps the colder summer weather suppressed the numbers.

    He/she looks like she is addressing the troops, ” Today the backyard, tomorrow the world! “

    If they were our size, Michael, they WOULD rule the world.

    I was going to say something about how marvelous the photo is, what a delightful creature and so on, but then I laughed uproariously at Michael’s comment. Now I can’t see anything except General Patton prepping the troops to storm the beach. Too funny!

    Thanks Jason. I think this assassin is an army of one.
