Ambush Bug Gets the Wasp

If you look closely you can see the ambush bug between the wasp and the thistle blossom. This marvelous little creature (a subset of the assassin bug) will sit patiently and wait all day hidden in a flower waiting for someone like a wasp to fly by. His big strong powerful raptorial (prey-grabbing) forelegs are strong enough to down a bug at least twice his size. Such a thrill to find this action just after the strike.
