Ambush bug (Phymata)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

I always enjoy seeing these prehistoric looking creatures. They patiently wait for prey to drop by and when something does land, they grab with lightning speed.

Extraordinary! I had to look this one up to even be convinced it is an insect - look at that eye which appears to have a pupil and iris.
