They are very difficult to photograph, moving their antennas almost all the time. See below my nightmare.

I've made 4 stacking attempts and this was the only usable one. I didn't want to give up because it was the first time I've seen an assassin bug. They dissapear fast if you approach them frontally so I thought this perspective would have had better chance of success. Well, I was partially wrong... 
It wasn't the hardest work I've done: I manually retouched the last frames (the frontal leg had a movement problem), add a little bit of cloning in Photoshop and then chose the frame who was best suited for a natural in focus/out of focus for the antennas and add it to the stack. Of course, I was lucky to be able to fit them all.
