Apiomerus Montanus
''Apiomerus'' is a genus of conspicuous, brightly colored assassin bugs belonging to the family Reduviidae. The species can be found in the United States ranging into tropical America. The common name bee assassins derives from their frequent habit of sitting and waiting upon flowers and taking bees as prey. The bright colors are aposematic, likely a warning to larger predators that a painful bite can be delivered. Many species of this genus have a sticky resin pad located on their dorsal abdomen. The resin is thought to be derived from plant material and may play a role in defending eggs from predation, especially by ants. The genus consists of about 110 described species.Schuh and Slater 1995 Species in the genus include: *''Apiomerus californicus'' Berniker & Szerlip, 2011 *'' Apiomerus cazieri'' Berniker & Szerlip, 2011 *''Apiomerus cooremani'' Costa Lima, Campos Seabra & Hathaway, 1951 *'' Apiomerus crassipes'' (Fabricius, 1803) *'' Apiomerus flaviventris'' Herrich-Schae ...

Apiomerus Pilipes
The bee assassin, ''Apiomerus pilipes'', is an insect that feeds on bees. It is found in South America and reported from Venezuela, Colombia, French Guiana, and Brazil. Like other members of the genus, females of this species have well-developed hind abdominal foliaceous appendages which can be coated with plant-derived resin. This species has been documented to prey upon meliponine bees (stingless bees), including ''Melipona compressipes'' and ''M. seminigra''. Usually, the bee assassin kills the prey species quickly (within 6–8 seconds). References Insects described in 1787 Insects of South America pilipes {{Reduviidae-stub ...
