Unknown Bug - Euthyrhynchus floridanus
Callahan, Nassau County, Florida, USA
July 7, 2008
Size: 3/4 inch long
This bug had a long orange thing in the front that attached to a smaller bug. The smaller bug tried to get away, but it never did. It was not paralyzed, it kept fluttering. I observed for about 30 minutes and the larger orange and black bug never really moved very much, just a fraction if anything.

It's a Florida predatory stink bug.
The one being eaten looks like a click beetle.

He won't hurt your flowers.

But on a larger scale, having all types of bugs (including ones that feed on flowers) in your garden will make it more natural and more likely to attract the butterflies and birds you want.

Great thanks for the info. A
Great thanks for the info. And I have read that having the bug population in the garden is good and helps the cycle of life continue for the plants as well as the visitors. Thanks again.
