While on a leisurely stroll with my family at Darby Park, Jenny and I found three different kinds of assassin bugs. Below are photos of some assassin bugs as well as a related bug called a leaf-footed bug (large gray one). Thanks to Blake Newton at the University of Kentucky for helping distinguish the assassin bugs from the leaf-footed bug.
