So my photographer brother-in-law Chris was showing me some pictures he took recently, and when this one<\/a> came up I have to admit I actually recoiled a bit:<\/p>

Yowza. Scary looking little bugger, ain’t it? Actually, there are two of these insects in the picture, though at first it’s hard to tell. I think Chris may have interrupted them in the process of making more little critters.<\/p>

Anyway, Chris and I had no clue what they were, so I sent a note to my pal Bug Girl, who knew right away what he had found: an Ambush bug<\/a>. Judging from other pictures<\/a>, she got it in one. They’re very formidable looking, and actually rather lovely with their color contrasting those of the Russian sage on which they’re perched. <\/p>

If you agree, and like insects in general, then check out Bug Girl’s blog<\/a>. There’re enough creepy crawlies there to last you through the whole weekend.<\/p>
