Ambush bug (Phymata)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

These very patient and skilled hunters appear in July and are usually present into the autumn. This excellent photo by Barry shows the face and head and the big yellow eye, well. As their name suggests, they sit motionless until a prey species lands and then with lightning speed attack, grab, paralyze and eat the unfortunate victim.
