Ambush bug (likely a flower-bug nymph)

Flowers and foliage in gardens, meadows, and other habitats with flowering plants, where it hunts or waits in ambush.

Predatory, feeding on bees, flies, butterflies, and other insects by piercing them with a sucking beak and consuming their internal fluids.

It remains motionless and camouflaged on flowers, seizing visiting insects with enlarged, grasping forelegs. Nymphs develop through several wingless stages before becoming adults.

Not dangerous to people and generally does not damage plants. It benefits gardens by controlling flower-visiting insect populations, though it may occasionally prey on pollinators.
