So I found this fuzzy bumble bee clinging to life on my tomato plant, but then I saw this bug clinging to said bee.
I separated them (bug had a clear hold on bee) and the bug went right after the bee again. The bee is not long for this world, the bug has already departed it.
Any idea what kind of bug this is, did it take down the bee or is it an opportunist and merely found a sick bee?
Odd, first I've seen anything like this.
