Bugland: Amazing Feats Of Strength

Did you know that Ambush Bug is a fictional superhero character that has appeared alongside such luminaries as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman in several DC comic books? Ambush Bug’s special superpower is the ability to teleport, which he does via miniature robot bugs that are inside his hollow orange antennae. In real life, Ambush Bugs possess a completely different superpower. They are amazing little hunters in the insect world, considered beneficial because they feast on wasps and flies. They camouflage themselves among beautiful flowers in the garden, and patiently wait for other insects to appear. Then they snatch their prey with their knife-like pincers and go to town. This Ambush Bug was photographed in Park Hill by Mark Silverstein.
