The killer insect | Zelus Longipes

This one insect is nicknamed with assassin bugs, these insects become a killer for other small insects, if these insects are confronted with other small insects then the small insects in an instant can be destroyed by this bug assassin.

Zelus longipes or this killer insect has a very sharp weapon in front of it, like a horn but he can be folded down so that the enemy or his prey is not too concerned with the weapons possessed by these insects, These insects belong to the family of Reduviidae who are members of the harpactorinae subfamily.These insects are widely dispersed covering southern South America, Central America, and South America.

I found this insect in the coastal area, namely in sawang, sub-district of North Aceh Ocean. I found this insect walking on the grass, with no prey or enemy approaching it so I can not see how this insect kills.
