Whenever I watch your spider videos, it always crosses my mind that it's not just spiders that are interesting, you're just really great at presenting it, it helps with the fascination.
This video is proof. These things are as unique and INSANE as anything could be on it's own.
❤❤❤
We all need a friend like yours !!
🖤❤️🖤
Put me in mind of stonehenge, Dave organising the new home 🏡 😆
I just picture them screaming mine, mine, mine when you hand them the roach.
😂😂😂
Reduviidae are interesting critters. Every once in a while I find a 'Wheel Bug' , Arilus cristatus, here in Tennessee. Not as colorful as these as adults, but the 'saw' shaped pronotol armor.
sorry dave but i was absolutely weak laughing as you tried to get them to show themselves feeding watering and the eventual disapointment, glad you left it in :)
Yes we thought it might go down well we found it funny , they say never work with kids and animals 😂😂😂😂👍
Thats a cool video i couldnt stop laughing towards the end when they weren’t coming out 😂
Awesome creatures though 🙌😃
HAHA we had a giggle doing it , I really thought they would feed the day after 😂 but it took a week for them to settle , glad you enjoyed it 😂👍
The little ones are so cute! 😍
They grow quick 😂👍
Thanks Dave. Great video. I love the horridas. I started out with about 12 nymphs. It's about a year and a half later now and they have bred to a colony of about 120-150 individuals now. My favourite insect is the praying mantis, but these guys are a very close second. They are highly intelligent. Mine seem to recognize me and follow me around as I look through the glass, sometimes even attacking the sides of the cage! Watching them hunt is a real treat! As you said, the adults tackle the larger prey, then a few minutes later the smaller nymphs will swarm in and steal a meal from the adult. They are quite fearless. I regularly see small babies of 1-1,5 cm in length attacking and attempting to take down adult or large Dubia roaches. It's hilarious to see a horrida going for the kill on something that is 4-5 times its own size. Awesome creatures. The only two downsides with assassin bugs are that their enclosures will smell quite quickly, even with regular cleaning. You will never find all of the dead bugs and they will quickly start to rot in the enclosure. The other thing is that they breed so prolifically that you will soon have more than you can handle. Good luck :)
Why in the world would anyone hit the thumbs down or leave negative comments!? Although I'm not a roach fan, I did love the Madagascar hissing bugs...they are amazing...even if they're so spoiled they're too lazy to hiss...😜😂...I really like the assassin bugs too. Are they as spoiled as your non hissing roaches? LOL😂 Also I love to hear your wife's voice. She should talk more often.... maybe she could do one of your videos and you be cameraman...lol.
Im glad your enjoying the videos Karla and camera lady is far to shy to be in front of the camera 😂👍ive tried
Well crap, now I NEED assassin bugs!! P.s my Husband is not happy 🤣
😂😂😂❤️
@@daveslittlebeasties I can’t resist feisty take downs especially when they except “fast food delivery” 😂🫣
really nice video. i find these fascinating. maybe you could do a collection tour someday. i would love to see your enclosures and inverts. keep doing the nice videos you do!
So glad your enjoying the content , I don't see any reason why we cant do a collection tour catching it all out at the same time may prove challenging 😂😂👍
That great video had me lol when ur wife said gone on holiday few day later you try feed them again that mean back of there holidays lol love it x
Thanks Dave and Camera Lady! Very interesting. And I always like to leave a comment: ) you two are the best!
Lol!!! My wife just found me watching your video…she said you can not have spiders!!! No worries…I’m to scared
Thanks again!❤️❤️❤️
Love it
They seem so clever and what with the markings Colour etc And that face There great
Hi I love the dark purple legged bigger spiders
The most painful bite ive experienced from an invertebrate. I would advise you keep your hands far from them. The intense pain last about 10 minutes, but it was the longest 10 minutes of my life
I love my assassins got some white spotted assassins as well soon as they breed I’ll send you some mate what to start breeding loads of them
Thanks Steve that would be very cool mate .👍👍
Creepy looking insects lol. I think I'll stick to Tarantula's and hopefully scorpions soon :D
They are fascinating mate
8:25 oh yes we did want to see you clean it!
Beauty and letal
They have you trained to hand feed....
Welcome to my channel! there you will find a video about psytalla horrida.
These guys would probably be great for a bioactive enclosure, with springtails and isopods, which the assassins should ignore for the most part
You should also try the white spot assassins, they are fairly bold as well.
These guys eat everything 😂😂😂and yes I have a few mature white spot.👍
@@daveslittlebeasties sweet, well I hope to see them featured.
Also in case your looking for pet suggestions, Periplaneta roaches, especially Periplaneta australasiae, and americana are cheeky little guys that learn their keepers. Worth considering. Their care is similar to the red runners, but slightly more damp and humid

You look like the actor JK Simmons who played in the HBO hit show "Oz".
😂😂😂
Hi Dave, this is a fantastic video, just beginning to do my research on assassin bugs, I’m leaning towards the king’s, as the are stunning to look at, I’m putting together an enclosures the same as the one in this video (exo terra 30x30x45), I was told to seal up the gaps next to the hinge section of the doors, as the feeders and future babies might escape via these gaps, did you do this??
Thanks in advance kris
No just made sure the vents in the top were closed 👍
Children always make you a liar or embarrass you.
Did you say "Corr!" at 22:07? (as in corr blimey!)
no sticky tape . ty :)
Dave. Can they climb acrylic enclosures. Another question is. Do you have a website where you sell your beasties?
You can contact me via facebook and im not sure about the acrylic .
When I was breeding crickets, I used to keep the container dry but put in a small flat container of damp vermiculite with a piece of fitted square 1cm mesh on top (to stop them from kicking the vermiculite all over the place). Anyway I changed that container verm. weekly and incubated it until all the eggs hatched so I could raise batches all about the same age and size. Would something like that work for the assassin bugs?
Yes same principle 👍
I soooo badly would like to keep them but in Australia that’s never going to happen. We do have some much smaller versions on Assassin Bugs so I am out looking!
I like red velvet ants.
good to know
Have you found a way to reliably hatch the eggs?
Yes we can hatch them in nursery
@@daveslittlebeasties Do you keep the nursery moist or bone dry?
So Assassin Bugs don't just run away? It's insane to me that you are able to have the enclosure open and they don't bolt.
Are adults able to fly?
Very poorly
Apparently they inject enzymes through there rostrum which paralysis and liquify there internal organs,then suck it up leaving just the husk.they’ve always fascinated me.have you half a dozen for sale?
I often have some available e👍
@@daveslittlebeasties ok thanks Dave I’ve no idea how to order them I will have to get my son to help.I’m Stone Age when it comes to social media.will be in touch when i know how to proceed Dave!✌️
I think all insects eat that way.
Can’t you use sticky tape twice to cover the enclosure? One side non sticky then then sticky part to go over the top and onto the enclosure?
Not sure that would be very safe long term .
Dave, I do not like these. Too intimidating and have a scary appearance. They look as if they would give a nasty bite. Another interior design masterpiece.
They spear the skin with a sharp proboscis D:
Oh! Are these not the ones who transmit Chagas disease?
No not these
those are the Triatoma infestans here in chile we call them vinchucas, I have only seem them once, they actually scare me lol also they can fly :(
@@ahred3848 Ok!
.
You were handling those like it was a cock roach or something, I hope you realize these things carry a parasite in their saliva, and they do bite humans. They will feed off of you. If those were to breed and have a bunch of babies, and they happen to get loose, you would be in trouble with these things running around in your house.
Your mixing these up with the American assassin
@@daveslittlebeasties The orange and red ones? I have thousands of them on the side of my house every spring. They look almost exactly the same as the ones you have. I killed thousands of them last spring. If they bite you, usually at night on the face, your face is gonna swell up and theres a chance you will be infected by the parasite. Chagas disease
@@daveslittlebeasties 75% of inspected kissing bugs were found to be carrying the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
@@daveslittlebeasties you may be correct. Not all assassin bugs transmit Chagas disease. In fact, the only known creatures to carry Chagas disease are members in the triatomine subspecies - the kissing bug. In one study at Baylor College of Medicine, 75% of inspected kissing bugs were found to be carrying the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
@@daveslittlebeasties The ones you have though are freaking huge. Never seen any that big.
Why u have to be british
😂😂😂 I was born this way 👍
Keeping dangerous bugs should be illegal
There not really dangerous my friend 👍
Dogs are pretty dangerous should we outlaw them as well
These aren’t very dangerous, just painful. And even if they were, the chances of them escaping are low.
People are more dangerous than bugs pal. Plenty psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, conductor disordersists, you name it😳.....and that's me just waiting on a 46 bus to castlemilk on a friday
