Assassin Bug
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
These insects are members of the family
Reduviidae from the order Hemiptera. These insects
possess a matchless ability to protect themselves.
It has been discovered that these insects make
spider webs vibrate, and they then attack the ow-
ner of the web. The characteristics of the 100-mil-
lion-year-old assassin bug shown preserved in
Burmese amber are identical to those of present-
day assassin bugs.
