Really at a loss to identify this one so any help welcome.</p>
<p>It seems like an assassin bug l, and presumably an adult as the wings are fully formed.</p>

<p>And the rostrum (not easy but somewhat possible to see here) is quite assassin like?</p>

<p>Presumably all the spikes are for camoflage?</p>

<p>It was found in the foothills of the pyrenees near Figures northern spain in short grased grass and ground plants, sorry not sure what type.</p>

<p>a bit of an oridnary one, but perhaps a different take on them, and something different for variaty</p>

<p>This looks nicer bigger but hopefully ok at this size too</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you can make a good guess or identify the first one it would be much appreciated as i could not find a single picture like it or reference to it in google.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
