Our assassin bug paid us a visit again. I see he (or a relative) last turned up about this time two years ago. A lot's happened since then.

Assassin!
I spotted a slightly unusual bug on a wall the other day. Looked unusual to me anyway, though I'll probably see them everywhere now, having identified it. It's a common assassin bug, Pristhesancus plagipennis. It assassinates other insects, like honey bees apparently, and sucks the blood of bigger animals too, including ours.
More about it on this excellent bug identification site:
