Found visiting a zinna in late summer; welcome visitor although guess they do kill bees.

Small predatory assassin bug with a big appetite. Hides well and ambushes prey.

They are experts at camoflauge. See how this one resembles goldenrod. It is as small as a goldenrod bloom. They wait for prey then grab them and impale them with their poisonous beak.

This picture of an ambush bug was taken early fall 2013 at Old School Forest Preserve in Lake County, Illinois.
