The white-spotted assassin bug is a venomous true bug from tropical Africa. It hunts insects and other small creatures, and it can give a bite that is more painful than a bee sting. It lives in damp tropical forests, often in hollow tree stumps and rotting logs.1

Eziokwu

1

It hunts a wide range of insects, including cockroaches, flies and caterpillars.1

2

It has needle-like mouthparts, built for sucking fluids rather than chewing.1

3

It does not go through metamorphosis, so young nymphs look like small adults.1

4

It takes six to nine weeks to develop from egg to adult.1

Onye na-ekpughe akụkọ ụgha

Akụkọ ụgha: Females can breed without mating, through parthenogenesis.

Eziokwu: This was once thought to be true but has recently been shown not to be. Unmated females lay eggs, but the eggs are infertile.1
