Facts: Ambush bugs are predators which normally lie in wait for prey. They have front legs fitted for grasping, much like that of a praying mantis. They commonly sit on a flower waiting for insects attracted to flowers. Goldenrod is a favorite flower, where their greenish-yellow color allows them to be well camouflaged.

Identifying characteristics:
¤ Antennae slightly clubbed
¤ Front legs with greatly enlarged femurs
¤ Abdomen wider towards the back

This thread is Giffen-Approved!

I hope so. I would hate to have it Shooter approved.

"Cat Women on the Moon" - how did I miss that movie?

I'd love to see Ambush Bug take on the all-new, grimmer and grittier DCU!

...and cowbells. The world needs more cowbells .
