A Member Of The Assassin Bug Family

A Wheel Bug looked me in the eye

Notice how closely tucked the proboscis is 

until it begins to get upset with my closeness.

The weapon begins to emerge.

Since the Wheel Bug or Assassin Bug will attack when threatened

I did not push my luck.

Their bites are very painful but they are wonderful in the garden,

bug eaters of high caliber.

In the dark I reach

to find color

Eternally searching

for the answer

Am I the Assassin Bug

or the wild flower?
