Before getting a macro lens, I would have never even imagined such a thing existed, much less was quite prevalent in my very own backyard. This is an Ambush Bug of the Phymatinae sub-family. That's about as specific as I can get at this point...it's a LOT harder to identify species of insects than it is for birds! They are true predators, and with that nasty looking little claw, it's not a creature I'd want to run across if I were more his size!
