A deer nibbled at my dragon fruit cactus, not Khorne. Assassin bugs are fantastic generalist predators and this nymph hitched a ride on my plants as I took them indoors for the winter. I'm keeping it around as pest control and hopefully some others will join it. Aphids for the Aphid God.

I hate that my horticulture degree only included one entomology course which was half-assed. They're such a critical part of my work but a big blind spot for me scientifically.
