here’s an old thread on them https://arachnoboards.com/threads/qs-about-assassin-bugs.15914/

Hello all. Are assassin bugs able to climb the walls of a fish tank? :Like those 10 gallon empty fish tanks. thx

I like em, but am not qualified to elaborate more than that. I'm just a Peon.

Give plenty vertical space for them to molt No need of substrates when not matured No need to mist (I didn’t at least) https://arachnoboards.com/threads/boyfromla’s-assassin-bugs-diary.322810/

Picked up several p horrida nymphs, my first time keeping any assassin bugs. Does this setup seem appropriate? No substrate just a piece of bark and some moss for humidity. Not sure about the moss and wondering if I should remove it, I've heard they like high humidity but for their surroundings...

...wheel bugs before - never eggs or hatchlings. My understanding is that wheel bugs are much harder to rear from eggs than the African assassin bugs, which I've raised for years. I tried combing through the archives, but most of the discussions about hatching wheel bugs are pretty old - and...

I will definitely pack down the substrate more. Sometimes I loosen the substrate a bit to make it easier to make a dirt curtain. But come to think of it, I don't think they'd have issues with excavating if they wanted to lol. I think I'll leave that wall empty then. I just thought that maybe...

I have a bit of an odd one here. I have 5 Psytalla horrida currently. 4 are adults and the last to reach adulthood moulted probably a month or two ago. The remaining one is still a subadult. I got them all together and throughout their lives so far they'd always all moulted within a week or two...

I know this sort of thing has been asked before, but I wanted some input on substrate for a vinegaroon. I currently have assassin bugs and recently swapped them out to have a thin layer of sand as a substrate, since they tolerate dry conditions quite well and it's so much easier to sieve for...

Got two white spot assassin bugs that were sold as a “breeding pair” can you guys help me double check

Attached. Tried my best to get them as focussed as possible. Got an underside photo too. Differentiated by writing on tube and which tattoo they were vibing on. Plain tube goes with Tetris (ik it needs fixing, lol) and tube with writing goes with assassin's creed logo. They were hanging out...

Maybe 🤔 if it can still eat.

I've just had one of my assassin bugs moult, and I'm not sure what's caused it but it's had a bit of a bad moult and has a deformed leg and wings. Will it still hunt and survive okay?

Very interesting 🧐 I had no clue they had so many little horns . Do they liquify prey like spiders?

Just sharing with you a lateral pic of one of my P. horrida that show well the magnificent array of spines crowining the thorax and scutellum of this species. I'm pretty sad that the offer of Reduvidae in the hobby (at least here in Italy) is almost totally restricted to a few Platymeris species...

LoL, that's wild man, thanks. I always love seeing what people get into on these boards... always fascinating.

Psyttala (often mispelled as Psytalla) contain the largest species of assassin bugs (family Reduviidae) in the world, i've sometimes seen P. horrida (45-50 mm) pointed out as the largest of them all but not on scientific publications so i'm not sure about that. Regarding diet, they feed on a...

I know nothing about these things...how big are they actually? And what do you feed them? I'm assuming an "assassin" has a nasty bite, yes?
