Hi. I'm Trinity, I am ten years old and I love bugs! I know alot about them. My favorite is the assassin bug. I have one brother, a mom, a dad, two dogs, two cats, and a wonderful family!
Im going to tell you about the assassin bug.
The assassin bug has a proboscis, (pro- boss- sis)
a straw like beak. It sneaks up on its
unexpecting prey. It stabs its prey with its proboscis.
The proboscis injects a venom that dissolves the tissue
of the prey. It then slurps up its meal. The nymph
(baby) assassin bug looks nothing like its parents.
It is clear when born. It needs the blood of a animal
to grow. Once it gets its first drink, it gets its color.
