Soooo ~ I've been a bit disappointed in the flowering Bidens. I thought it would be attracting much more insects but I never see anything buzzing around it. So, yesterday I went to take a closer look to see what I could see. Boy was I in for a shock! Blinking As soon as I got close, I could see a couple of skippers but they weren't moving.

Apparently, Big fat crab spider has been eating good!!

At the same time this skipper had been captured by an Ambush Bug!!

I went back later and they both must had finished their meals, since the skippers were gone.

Tried to get a closer look at the interesting ambush bug. Looks like I need to try again.

I did see another tiny pollen bug. A mosquito. Hilarious!
