Ambush Bug Nymph - Phymata sp., maybe Phymata fasciata I found this little baby while inspecting the wild carrot (Daucus carota) growing in a meadow. I was drawn to this one because it was so pink and was happy to find this nymph poised on top.<br />

  1. I opened it in full screen mode before reading the caption and was shocked to find it lol. Posted 2 years ago
    1. There were several flowers with these nymphs, which was weird because I rarely see nymphs, but always see the adults. This time, it was the opposite -- all nymphs and no adults. Posted 2 years ago
