There are about 7,000 different types of assassin bugs. Some of these are predatory and some of them are parasitic and suck blood. They begin life as eggs which hatch into nymphs. The nymphs develop until they evolve into their adult form, after which they grow until they are big enough to breed and begin the cycle again.

I think Assassin bugs eat other insects due to their name. Usually when someone says "Assassin" u would think of those criminal people that kill others. So that's why i think the Assassin bug would kill other bugs for survival.

Who would win a fight between a tiger beetle or an assassin bug?

I Would Say Either But I Have To Go With The Assassin Bug Because Assassin Bugs Have A Deadly Bite Or "Kiss." Powers Between The Two Creatures: Tiger Beetle: 1. Speed. 2. Carnivorous Diet. 3. Sharp Mandibles. 4. Ripping Ability. Assassin Bug: 1. Proscobis For "Kissing" Or Biting. 2. Carnivorous Diet. 3. Ability To Rip Out Skin And Flesh To Succsefly Kill It's Prey. 4. Spree Killing. Hmmm. Fight: A Tiger Beetle Is Speeding Out On A Woodlouse And Kills The Woodlouse. An Assassin Bug However Appears To Share The Spoils, But The Tiger Beetle Won't Let Her, (The Assassin Bug Is Female, The Tiger Beetle Is Male.) The Assassin Bug Then Does Something Else And Plans To Eat The Tiger Beetle Itself. The Tiger Beetle Tries To Chase Off The Assassin Bug, The Assassin Bug Returns And Battles For A Fight, The Tiger Beetle Runs In The Way And The Assassin Bug Tries To Bite On The Beetle But Fails To Bite. The Assassin Bug Rears Up As A Threatening Posture But The Tiger Beetle Pushes The Assassin Bug Off, The Tiger Beetle Bites The Assassin Bug And Brings It Around But The Assassin Bug Got Her Proboscis To Bite On The Beetle. The Assassin Bug Drinks Up The Blood And Murderers The Beetle With A Kiss. Yep, Assassin Bug Wins Alright!
