Jagged Ambush Bug Images, Facts and Information:
Phymata americana
- Jagged Ambush Bugs are predatory insects that belong to the assassin bug family. They have an angular, yellow, greenish-yellow, or brown body, and their small size makes them perfectly camouflaged among flowers.
- Jagged ambush bugs occur throughout the United States, southern Canada, and northern Mexico.
- Ambush bugs can capture prey ten times their size. They consume butterflies, moths, bees, and flies.
- Jagged ambush bugs are polygynandrous, meaning both males and females have multiple mates during a breeding season.
