Yes, praying mantis, one of the best insects IMO, so beautiful and perfectly designed for their predatory lifestyle.
They sit and wait in a praying pose, waiting for an insect, or even a humming bird if the mantis is big enough. They then strike from their prayer pose, lunging their forearms out at incridible speed and impale or grab their pray and pull them in. (there is an amazing video of this, look it up on Youtube, highly recommend it)
Here is a still from that video, borrowed from National Geographic (hope i am allowed to do that)
