The strong beak found on Assassin bugs is used to repeatedly, and violently, stab its prey to death, hence the name 'assassin'. author = "Clem, {C. Scott} and Swanson, {Daniel R.} and Ray, {Charles H.}". The long, pointy beak is kept tucked under the head when not in use and makes noise when moved back-and-forth.

They eat all sorts of insects, many of which attack the health or fruit of food plants. All total, 61 species within 36 genera and 10 subfamilies are reported from Alabama. The listing below is a general indicator of insects, bugs and spiders that may be found in a given state. The Reduviidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Alabama, with a morphological key to species.
