Ambush bug (Phymata)

These adult Ambush bugs have started appearing lately. Earlier, the bright green nymphs were visible. Lots of interesting insects around the garden, many Braconid, Sphecid, Vespid and Ichneumonid wasps. Lots of hoverflies (Syrphids) of at least 7 species, various bee species, a lovely little Pyralid moth Pyralis orphisalis, and so on and on!

These are pretty much my favorite bugs. Great shot!
