Also, right as I was coming home I saw a pair of mating thread-legged bugs (family Reduviidae, subfamily Emesinae) on the wall! I have only seen them singly before. They're extremely skinny assassin bugs with a mantis-like raptorial first pair of legs.

They're very hard to take photos of as they will try to get away from you and also do this shaky, juddering walk. (Camouflage?) Lots of better photos here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/213

45° angled photo of a pair of small long thin insects with legs so thin they're barely visible, on a stone slab. The female (bottom) has her first pair of legs tucked up; they're thicker and shorter, made for grabbing, like a praying mantis's. In the foreground are a few bristle millipedes, one very small.
