First Bug
I just started bug hunting and this is the first bug I shot. But mine is more yellow in color. So I was wondering is that a differnt species?

I *think* I read that there are over 20 species of Ambush Bugs in the US. Of course their proximity to flowers means they usually do get covered in pollen.
..I liked your shot btw, I look forward to seeing more!
