Bugs doing bug stuff

Hi There!

 

There's really not much to say ... I don't know what kind of insects they are, but in my mind's eye, they are a little creepy looking.

 

Info Update: Linda Martin tipped me off that these aliens might be Ambush Bugs. She is correct, they are Ambush Bugs! They are in a subfamily of Assassinbugs called Phymatinae.

 

Here is some info from Bugwood Wiki:

 

"Life History and Habits: Ambush bugs are predators of other insects and occasionally spiders. They lie in wait on plants and hunt by ambush, capturing prey that comes within range and injecting paralyzing saliva through their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Ambush bugs may be forage among leaves but most commonly wait among flowers for passing flies, bees and wasps that visit (Figure 3). Ambush bugs can be most easily found by examining yellow flowers (e.g., goldenrod, rabbitbrush) and white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer."
