Ambush bug (likely a disguised assassin bug)

Usually found motionless on flowers, foliage, and garden plants, especially where pollinating insects gather. Common in temperate regions, including North America.

A predatory true bug that captures bees, flies, butterflies, and other insects with its piercing-sucking beak, then injects digestive enzymes and consumes liquefied tissues.

Excellent camouflage and ambush behavior make it difficult to spot; it waits motionless and strikes passing prey. Adults are often encountered on flowers during warm months.

Beneficial as a natural predator of garden pests and other insects. It is not dangerous, but handling can cause a painful defensive stab; the image alone cannot confirm the identification with certainty.
