Ambush bug (Phymata)

There were many of these gnarly little bugs sitting on, or hidden in, the flowers, just waiting for something to land so they could pounce. They are not called 'ambush bugs' for nothing! This one has pushed itself up on its front legs and is giving me the eye.

That thing is prehistoric looking. It looks predatory as well. Great timing and close up. V.
