Assassin bug

Assassin bugs are predatory insects that lurk among foliage and on flowers to ambush other insects as food. These critters number more than 160 species and, in fact, are beneficial to farmers in that they feed mostly on crop pests.

Tarantula hawk

It takes courage to take down a tarantula, but this bug, a species of spider wasp, has honed its assault skills to perfection. The female uses its sting to paralyze its hairy adversary, but doesn't kill it. Instead, she lays a single egg on the spider's body. Later, after hatching, the larva burrows its way inside the spider's abdomen and begins feasting on the still-living tarantula. By the way, a sting from a tarantula hawk is one of the most painful and debilitating a human can experience!

Warty frogfish

Like its bigger cousin, the warty frogfish is a voracious carnivore and uses camouflage, lure, and ambush techniques to attack all small animals that pass within its "strike range."

Red-lipped batfish

A fish species with a penchant for scarlet lipstick, the odd-looking batfish also uses an esca to draw in its unwitting victims.

Bullet ant

Bullet ants feed on a wide range of food sources, anything from plant sap such as nectar to other insects and small vertebrates, including frogs. In order to secure their live meals, they deliver a well-aimed sting that instantly kills their victims. In fact, so powerful and painful is the attack that human casualties have described the pain as similar to getting shot. Hence the name given to this miniscule murderer.
