The Thread-legged Bug Emesaya brevipennis in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland (7/21/2013). Notes from Richard Orr: "This might look like a Walkingstick (Phasmatodea) but it is not -- it is an Assassin Bug (family Reduviidae). It belongs to a group of Assassin Bugs called Thread-legged Bugs. This species (Emesaya brevipennis) is the largest of the Thread-legged Bugs around 35mm long. It is often found in large spider webs (as this one was) where it feeds on insects that become entangled in the web." Photo by Richard Orr. (MBP list)
