Bryan Wright<p>An ambush bug on a purple aster. I hope I haven't posted this before, but its one of my favorite pictures. These asters are in bloom now.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ambushbug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ambushbug</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Hemiptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hemiptera</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/arthropods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthropods</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
Bryan Wright<p>A baby ambush bug sitting on a blackberry. I came close to popping the berry into my mouth, but noticed the speck of white just in time.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bug</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bugs</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmbushBug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmbushBug</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hemiptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hemiptera</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/foraging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foraging</span></a></p>
John Reed Pavan<p>This is probably the nymph form of a Pennsylvania ambush bug (Phymata pennsylvanica). Normally, these are so well camouflaged that even when you're looking directly at them, and know what you're looking at it's hard to get your brain to register what it is. However, this one decided to sit on top of a black wire fence instead of a flower or leaf.</p><p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/nymph" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nymph</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/PhymataPennsylvanica" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PhymataPennsylvanica</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/ambushbug" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ambushbug</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bugs</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Insects</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>entomology</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/macro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>macro</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/ultramacro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ultramacro</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/centralpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>centralpark</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/canonphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>canonphotography</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/luminarneo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>luminarneo</span></a></p>
John Carlson<p>I’m impressed with the camouflage that an <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/AmbushBug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmbushBug</span></a> can achieve, sitting on a flower awaiting a busy bee. Sometimes I only see the bugs after spitting a bee, and wondering why the bee is sitting so still on a flower.</p>
