Looking like a creature from a sci-fi film, these small ambush bugs are very adept at catching prey. They remain entirely still on their chosen plant and when another insect lands, Wham!, they grab and paralyze it and commence sucking the juices out of their victim's body, rather than eating part of or the entire, body as other insects might do. In this, they are similar to the crab spiders. Both leave the bodies of their prey dangling, from the plant, looking at first as if they are just resting!
