[QUOTE="Summerbug, post: 267128, member: 7309"] AxolotlsAreCoolToo, I do the same thing! I like to feed new "guest" nymphs and keep them through a molt and then let them back out. As a matter of fact, before Hungry Ghost and Ntsees helped me out with the ID, I tried veggies first. Obviously, he was not interested in those. Well I found a tent caterpillar for this guy (I believe this assassin bug could be this a Zelidu luridus) and he sucked all the inards out with that "rostrum" device. The caterpillar was about 3 times his volume. All he left was a little tiny crumpled bit of dried out material. He then spent the better part of the last 5 days resting under his leaf. No molt yet though but he has acquired some different coloration. I wonder if these guys molt but don't leave an obvious discarded molt skin? [/QUOTE]
