Maybe you wondered why this one called an assassin bug...
This bug called assassin bug because most of them feed on small insects by stabbing it's beak on it's prey and there's one species eats blood (Triatominae).
If carelessly handled it could inflict serious bite... so be careful if you found this one.
This one called Milkweed Assassin Bug (Zelus longipes)
