Not exactly a hunting pic, but this dude is a deadly hunter if you're a bug hiding out on a sun flower! My BIL took this pic a couple of days ago and got National Geographic "Photo of the Day" recognition for it!!

Great pic!
They do have a nasty bite and also emit some kind of chemical that is very unpleasant. They are an assassin insect and do a good job of killing unwanted pests. Just don't let them take an interest in you.

That is a great pic!
Thanks for posting it up!
Never seen one before
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Do it bite?

Looks like an Assassin Beetle to me. They are blood suckers and carry the Chagas disease. Adios, Gary
