Ambush bugs are small, artfully camouflaged predatory insects that lurk on plants, often on flowers, and they wait for another insect to come along to get nectar. The other insect does not leave the plant. They can be hard to find because they don't move much and they really blend in, especially on flowers like goldenrod. They are actually fairly common.

They can, when too common, exert pressure on honeybee population. This in conversation with a man who studied bees from pre 1960 to, I bet, the end of his life. His bees loved him. Sorry for the athropomorphisation, but it seemed true(read Conrad Lorenze). This you mentioned about spiders, pressure, not love. I wish I was from west coast. In persuit of an education(mine, not yours) our paths might have crossed. I would have enjoyed that.

Nice ones Tom, I think the Ambush bug is beautiful in a bizarre sort of way.
