In Ottawa we have ancient sand dunes left from a sea that existed here thousands of years ago. These old dunes host a variety of insect life, including the Bronzed Tiger Beetle. They are predatory. In the middle pic you can see it has caught a small bee.

Nice detailed shots and thanks for the background - I guessed predatory with a face like that!
 
Nice shots!

That face must have inspired a lot of 1950s horror/sci-fi films!
 
Also at the sand dunes - Yellow Crab Spider waiting for customers with open arms.
