All,

I may have asked this question several years ago, but I'll ask again.  Has anyone ever seen Ambush Bugs (Phymatinae) such as Phymata pennsylvanica here in Nova Scotia?  I have yet to find one here although I have watched for them.  They were very common back at my farm in Ontario -- usually found on goldenrod and yarrow.  I'm a little surprised not to see them here, but perhaps I will find them yet.  I checked the Bugguide.com data on Phymatinae and it shows them as being unreported in Nova Scotia.  Of course, this just means that no one in NS has submitted a photo of one to Bugguide, but maybe they just aren't around.  Any thoughts on this?  Here's the map from Bugguide.
