The bug scientific name is Zelus longipes, a beneficial assassin bug that feeds on aphids and other garden pests.
Our areas known for its humid and warmer climate, the common garden pest may include:
- Leafhoppers
- Whiteflies

Hence, it is good to have the Assassin Bugs in our gardens. Just be careful not to touch them. They definitely bite.
