Ambush bug - hemiptera

Much like the crab spiders, these have been abundant, once i knew where and how to look for them. Mostly 1.0-1.5 cm long, these lurk in a flower, waiting for an appropriate meal to approach too close, these are more than able to bring down prey at least twice their size (wasps, bees, flies, butterflies). On occasions, i have seen them fly from one flower to another, but generally will stay in the same site for days on end.
