Wow, nice set. I continue to be amazed how you find these things. Talk about perfect camouflage, it's really difficult to tell where flower leaves off and bug begins.

This insect is not often almost totally white like this.
In fact, it is probably a rare occurance.
Try putting it on yellow flowers and see what happens.
These are beautifully shot. The details of the insect are amazing in their complexity.

Very nice find! There is at least one species of jagged ambush bugs (genus Phymata) with white nymphs, as shown in BG. I don't know the full specific name of them though. These are extremely nice pictures of them!
