   Phymata fasciata
   
   This type of assassin bug is a very potent predator. It’s one of the few types of bugs of this genus that can take on prey a few times larger than its 1-inch body.
   
   Bugs of these species are tan or brown. They have a body that appears wrinkly, often confused with leaves or tree bark.
   
   This allows these bugs to remain undetected on flowers or trees where many types of insects approach them unknowingly.
   
   Bugs of the species have a very potent bite.
   
   They often eat powerful large insects such as wasps, hornets, and bees such as bumblebees.
   
   However, these bugs cannot be seen as truly beneficial to any type of habitat as they also eat honeybees.
