Ambushed

The ambush bug is a masterful hunter, camouflaged among the flowers to lie in wait for unsuspecting prey (moths, wasps, bees, etc.). Here are two of them mating. Who ambushed who in this union? It had to have been the male, since the is the uglier one, the one on top. It's a rough world out there, folks.

Thanks for the photo,
Sean.

Interestingly, no animal is too bizarre to be used as basis for a superhero or villain in a comic.
