Field Notes

Description:

I know this little guy is an ambush bug (subfamily Phymatidae), but don't know the species. It was hunting on yarrow flowers in a vacant lot in Durango, CO, in early August.

Thanks Liz! I like ambush bugs because of their strange little faces and because it's so interesting to watch them capture other insects.
