Assassin Bug
Sinea anacantha

I'm always excited to find the Assassin Bugs with the spines on
them - they look so cool! This one was especially
weird in that it had a bulbous formation on the beak that may be due to
some kind of injury, although it looks
like it was meant to be - like a work of art (see below):

"Yes, I fashioned this extra piece on the end of my
beak so I could smoke a pipe and eat at the same time."
