Image of Milkweed Assassin Bug
Description:
This adult appeared to be sipping nectar in the second photo and looks like it turned its head to see a tiny ant nearby in the third photo. I guess they are omnivorous since I have seen them apparently sipping nectar on other occasions, perhaps while waiting for prey.
