True BugsWhat this bug?
Hello,
You have a great site. Can you tell me if this is an Assain Bug?
Thank You
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
You are close. Not an Assasin Bug but an Ambush Bug, Family Phymatidae. Your photo shows the four segmented clubbed antennae nicely. They wait on flowers and ambush flying insects many times their own diminutive size.
