    A group of ants (genus Dolichoderus) attends a colony of mealybugs, family Pseudococcidae (Chiang Mai, Thailand).
    assassin bug, family Reduviidae, from Chiang Mai, Thailand. I thought it was a spider at first, and after further examination, now I can see why. The head appears recessed, giving the illusion of two body segments instead of three. Additionally, the antennae are bent backwards, causing two visual effects; it appears to lack antennae, and it seems to have eight legs instead of six.
