I have seen the assassin bug around a few times. He's been on my deck and kitchen windows. I too was alarmed at his looks but felt sure he was a bug that ate other bugs. I did reasearch to find I was right on my hunch. I used to have garlic chives but spent three years getting rid of it as it spread by seed way too easily. I like it but it took over. Perhaps my assassin bug is no longer around because of the garlic chives. I did not see him last year. They're a little scarry but beneficial.
