Naked Assassin

Description

The genus Fitchia includes two species in the US. These are likely F. spinulosa as they are long and narrow.

Large nymphs/adults available, unsexed. They measure a little under an inch.

Please note the bite from these is painful. These predators use the venom in their rostrums to take down their prey. They are not picky about food if it is smaller than them and doesn’t move too quickly.
