Beauty and Beast (Nemoptera sinuata & Rhinocoris iracundus)

I took this picture in the Algarve as I had seen the lacewings fluttering around. I saw this one looked stuck on a plant but on closer inspection I saw the Red assasin bug had it in it's grip. If you enlarge the picture you can see the catchlight in it's eye.

I was commeded by the Royal Entomology Society for this picture for insect week 2016
