Jagged Ambush Bug
Jagged Ambush Bug ~ Genus Phymata
The Jagged Ambush Bugs are insects I see quite often. 99% of the time they are set up on a wildflower and waiting for some poor soul to land on it - then they strike. They have strong grips on their front to hold an insect inplace when it land, and those other sets of legs anchor it to flower while their venomous beak does the rest.
