Any ideas...

you with entomologist leanings?

This wee beastie was spied on my window


Vital statistics:-

Wingspan - 3 cm
Body - 1.2 cm
Mocha coloured
Is that a sting in its tail?

Answers on a postcard please...

    Aaack! As a person who grew up in the South, I have no fondness for bugs AT ALL. Seeing that on my window would creep me out big time.

      No Marty... be kind to your fellow creatures is my motto. You never know when they will take over the earth, to this end every week I dust and polish my computer... just in case?

      Couldn't agree more Elaine, that was my first thought when I decided to photograph it... 'Yikes everyone will see what a sluttish housekeeper I am!' However in the interests of natural science the world needed to know about what strange creatures inhabit this neck of the woods... Careful...

    Wow! a good link... it certainly pays to have brains in the family. Your Pa rescued it and hopefully now it's living happily in the hedge.

    BIG love,

    LinX
