On blooming Baccharis sarothroides. Has been a very dry year and very little was flowering. There was a stretch of wash with a few stands of Baccharis that were blooming though, and pollinators were centered on it.
My first time seeing Phymata in Arizona. Southwestern Arizona in particular seems to lack observations on iNat.
Observed multiples within a short distance on one Baccharis sarothroides bush.
SO CUTE
And so well-camouflaged on the buckwheat flowers.
