White Spotted Assassin Bug Nymph
Fierce preditors, these bugs make great pets. They will eat any insects smaller than themselves, grabbing them in their front legs and sucking them dry through piercing mouthparts. Providing they are well fed then you can keep them communially but they will cannibalise smaller individuals when hungry.
Care should be taken as these stunning bugs are able to sting and squirt fluid which can irritate the eyes and skin- not to be kept around children or animals.
