Masters of disguise, these are often nestled into the center of a flower waiting to "ambush" their prey. Large, pointed, mantis-like forelegs. Colors vary. Large squarish head, flat back with edges convex in shape.
Spotted in the tops of the bronze fennel blooms in my flower bed next to my house.
Three species are noted in Ohio most commonly: Phymata americana, P. fasciata, and P. pennsylvanica
