Millipede Assassin Bug (Ectrichodia crux) Reduviidae

 
 They are medium sized and found throughout South Africa with metalic bluish black or dark brown with red, orange or cream markings.
 The females are wingless and look similar to the nymphs.
 They come out at night to feed, eating ants and possibly millipedes.
