\"\"In honor of the day, I present to you an image from a few weeks ago, while I was trying to get decent photographs of a tiny thread-legged assassin bug, Stenolemus lanipes<\/em>. I thought the pattern on the abdomen could be considered appropriate.<\/p>\n

Though I admit, now that The Girlfriend’s Younger Sprog pointed out the ‘horns’ to me, which I’d missed at first, I now can’t help seeing this as proof that Don Martin exists. If you don’t get that reference, I can only conclude that you were denied a proper, enriched education.<\/p>\n

Yes, I have better images of the bug. Gimme a break – it was 8mm long overall (which means what you see here is 4mm) and had this thing against holding still. Hell, most<\/em> people would have ignored it as a bit of fluff or lint. I even collected a few other insects to try and tempt it into eating in front of the camera, but no dice. Or even mince.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if that isn’t good enough for your Halloween, below is a more distinctive one, courtesy of the camera flash.<\/p>\n

Sleep well.
