Himacerus mirmicoides, Heesch, Netherlands

Some interesting facts about this species:

It's mimicking the thin waist of an ant by having transparent parts on the abdomen, creating an optical illusion. It probably mimics ants to avoid predation.

In terms of behavior, it always seems to be digging into the core of flowers, suggesting it's feeding on plant juice or nectar. In reality, it's trying to stir up thrips, triggering them to come up. Similar to how birds thumb on a lawn to get rain worms to come up.
