Hi Dee, the photo is a bit on the blurry side but I believe you have assassin bugs.
Above link might help you out with an ID.
Oh my..I have never heard of this bug....that is just too scary......Judy
I had those - good grief, I hope my Bantams didn't eat them, you think???!!!
I just checked out the site and they should be nicknamed goulish vampire bugs....lol..Judy
LOL Too funny, Kin.
geez Kin, too creepy. You are so bad. LOL. I bet you do your house up for Halloween.
Dee, I think you must have good luck!
GardenGuy...thanks for the link. I believe you may be right. That picture is more than a little blurry and I thought I got a good one.
After reading the link, it looks like they might be good bugs, but it also said they can bite. I don't really like bugs that bite me!
Dee
That looks like what I was told was a "Kiss" bug... cause they hook into your skin and it is REALLY hard to get them off without breaking something...... Okay.. eeeeeeeeew I'm so grossed out now... I'm getting a major case of the heebie jeebiez...
I'll just pick my own cats, I don't think I want any of these bugs helpin me out.
I got a really strong magnifying glass and went and looked at these critters. They really do look like the pictures on the link given. Guess they are assasin bugs.
Do I really want them?
Dee
He is a "Pretty Bug". But I hope I don't have any here. LOL
Kin...You keep your eye on that bug..OK??
They are good bugs except they will eat butterfly cats. You can move the nymphs, before they get wings, by scooping them into a jar. I moved some from a Plumeria which they had cleaned all the aphids off, to my brugs.
They are creepy with their swayback and they do bite so be careful
