Meet the Assassin bug - carries up to 20 victims on its back

source

MEET the Hannibal Lector of the insect world ? the assassin bug who sucks the life out of its prey.

One of the world's most deadly insects, it injects its food with a digestive enzyme before sucking out the insides.

But unlike movie villain Lector, it then puts their carcases on its back like armour, warding off potential attackers such as jumping spiders.

The bug can carry up to 20 ant carcases at a time.

Other prey includes smaller spiders. It tricks them into crawling to their webs by causing vibrations a trapped fly would make then pounces on them.

Scientists call this move ?aggressive mimicry?.

That bug is a goon.

I can carry at least 30 dead ants on my back.

You must be like some sort of Cyborg of inhuman strength!

thought this would be about a new weapon spy insect someone made that "carried" 20 victims on its back in the form of poison or something :(ZumaJones07

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty Goddamn impressed by that bug.

I wonder what sound it makes when you kill it.
