Hmm Surely looks like something from the Reduviidae family. There are sevreal subspecies fo assassin bugs. I was looking for the markings or ridges on his back but could not make any out but that could just be picture quality. Good pics anyway! :0)
Thanks for watching and trying to figure out who this really is! I don't like posting a vid without a proper tag for the main actor...But in this case I just couldn't properly identify the star:(
I spent two straight days searching and searching and just couldn't pinpoint the exact insect...
I thank you A LOT for trying to figure it out yourself!
I always loved your bird videos, but this one is great too, really amazing what you've captured there. Keep on!!

Thank you:) This winter I spent at my seahue channel (Connecticut). So you can find my latest batch of bird vids there:D

This bug was actually handsome compared to the bug that attacked me during my last visit to Missouri! Two words...Camel Cricket:0
I made a video of it but it is sooooo ugly I'm not sure if I want to even post it! Have you ever had a run in with one in your neck of the woods:)?
