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.

I do not know what it is but I call it a Green Bug. It took me ages to think of that.

That bug found a little waterdrop. I think he was thirsty or something.

*(I found this little bug crawling around in our woodpile. He was too cute to dispatch, so I decided to leave him there. His face measures one and a half inches wide, by one and three quarters inches from chin to top of his antennas.)

When I first saw this, I wasn't even sure it was a bug. Then it started to move. The camera can see better than my eyes!

Maybe it's the nymph of a stinkbug? I'm not an entomologist.

It's not easy to see, but there are four bugs gathered on the petals of this flower; I imagine they were discussing politics, or where to go to lunch. Maybe they were just gossiping about Sally in accounting. They wouldn't let me in on the conversation, so I really couldn't say with much authority and am completely speculating.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

We had some nice sunshine today so I took the camera out into the garden to see what I could find. Didn't notice the little bug on the rosemary until I saw it on the screen.
