Came across this little guy while cleaning the wheels. Very interesting little creature. Found myself fascinated by the way it moved, not like and insect, more like a mammal. Kinda hard to describe. What other insect can turn it’s head 180 degrees and watch you as you pass with only neck movement. Freaky!

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Bingo.

You just don't see these things around much. Could be that they blend in so well with plants. Very hard to spot. Masters of Camouflage.

Ya know, I heard that before. "Kill one and your going to jail". Pretty sure it's just a wide spread urban legend.

After all, we all know the truth is that they're really aliens visiting our palnet.

I hear they eat citrus fruits, so maybe it was attracted to the orange peel finish of your paint ( they're color blind , aren't they ? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] )
