So I was traipsing around a family member's garden and found this guy. It's a nymph of a Sinea sp., and judging by the fact that it has sharp spines on its pronotum, I'm calling it a S. diadema sp. The only other option would be a spinipes sp., but they supposedly have blunt tubercules as opposed to spines. The naming on them is even stranger, S. diadema is the spined assassin bug, while the S. spinipes is the spiny assassin bug.
Photos taken in SE Ohio, so if you think there's another option, let me know
1/160, ISO200, f/14, flash heads set at 1/4 each
This one is pretty neat, definitely posing for me.
