Sinea diadema
Ahhh, this is what we love to see--predators at their best--knocking off flying insects. This one on Antelope Island
was very camera shy and kept sneaking to the back side of the stem to try to get away from me. It never dropped
its prey, though. The abdomen is very pretty. I think it resembles wood paneling. Hmmmm, wood paneling that
catches insects--patent pending! © Carol Davis, 9-26-2010

This is a new one for me. Found it on a sunflower plant on Antelope Island. It has
quite the spines around the head, thorax and front legs. © Carol Davis, 9-13-2009
