The hunting guard that protects the crops - hunting bugs

Hunting bugs are small to large, with body lengths up to 40 mm. Body shapes are extremely diverse. Most species have hard body walls that are yellow, brown or black, and many species have bright red spots. The head often becomes thinner and elongated behind the eyes. The antennae have 4 segments and the beak has 3 segments. The beak does not extend to the base of the midfoot. The front legs of many species are specialized as capture legs.

There are about 6,800 known species in the world, which are widely distributed, especially in warm and hot zones. About 400 species are known in my country. Almost all are predatory, capturing insects, spiders and myriapods. Different species have different choices and preferences for prey.
