Hello! I study the systematics of assassin bugs (particularly ambush bugs) and recently received my PhD in Entomology from the University of California, Riverside. I am using iNaturalist to explore the diversity, distribution, and natural history of these well camouflaged predators. If you are interested in learning how to identify ambush bugs, I published a taxonomic revision and illustrated key to North American Phymata that can be accessed here: https://cjai.biologicalsurvey.ca/articles/mw-41/
