Hi everyone there.

Well sorry for don´t post the last week but I was in exams, so I couldn’t, but now I´m here telling you more about estrange bugs and I will show you one insect that I found very scary.

Can you imagine an insect that looks like a flower? Well I going to tell you that this is true, its name is orchid mantis, as it name say this insect looks like an orchid, is usually found in Malaysia and Indonesia. They hide in orchid flowers waiting for delicious insects to eat.(cellania)

Investigating more about insects I found the assassin bugs, this insect is like one that I mentioned before, but it is not the same, the assassin bug uses the mouth to inject a toxin into it prey. This acts as an anesthetic. In the world there are around thousands of assassin bug species. Some of these insects only eat other insects but others attack reptiles, birds, mammals.(cellania)

I found a video by National Geographic that shows the power that assassin insect have. In this video can provoke you some chills, you see that this insect take blood from a bat and how this animal get paralyzed and can´t fly, also you found that  assassin bug fill it stomach like when you put gasoline to your car. I get scare about this insect because if bats are dangerous imagine this little insect!

So this is the video!

Well I hope this post were interest for you. Have a nice weekend! See you the next week!
