Wearing their kills as a cape, Acanthaspis petax are ferocious hunters that puncture their preys’ bodies and lap up the fluids within. Once they’re done with their meal – typically ants – the bugs build a backpack of empty carcasses. Although scientists remain unsure about why these assassin bugs carry their food, some suggest that it’s a form of camouflage to avoid predators.
