We saw this bug in our garden recently. After searching from internet, we believe the bug is called as an Assassin Bug.
The bug scientific name is Zelus longipes, a beneficial assassin bug that feeds on aphids and other garden pests.
Our areas known for its humid and warmer climate, the common garden pest may include:
- Leafhoppers
- Whiteflies
- many kinds of insect species
Hence, it is good to have the Assassin Bugs in our gardens. Just be careful not to touch them. They definitely bite.
Do you recognize ihe Assassin Bug in your garden?

Olá, amiga.
ReplyDeleteEste inseto é de facto um perigo para as plantas. E quiçá, para o ser humano.
