  1. An ugly bug! I don't know, what is it?


  2. It definitely looks like a camouflaged true bug, Order Hemiptera. Upload your pic to the link below and I'm sure they can find an identification for you. It would also be helpful to know what part of the country you/bug are located. Good luck and WAY cool insect!

  3. Learn to ID it with the help of these sites -

  4. I think it's a masked hunter (Reduvius personatus). It's a type of assassin bug of the order hempitera and family reduviidae. The immature forms, called nymphs, are sticky and can carry dust and other things on them as camouflage.

    If you search those pages for 'masked hunter' you'll see pics that look similar to yours. Hope that helps! Crazy looking bug...
