Ambush bug (Phymata)

By mid-summer, these funny, gnarly little bugs begin to appear and are soon commonly found on almost all flowers, lying motionless, waiting for an insect land, at which point they will quickly grab it. Their common name is apt, for they do ambush their victims.Diane took this pretty photo of two on tansy.
