Description
"The fingers of your thoughts are molding your face ceaselessly."
--Charles Reznikoff, poet (1894-1976)
I had no idea I'd be posting this image today. When I came out to my car after work yesterday, here was this little fella sitting on my roof, wanting to say hello. I apologize for the graininess of the images but he was at most 1 cm in length and these are full resolution crops. This is one of those insects who's eyes follow you wherever you go and I like that for some reason. If anyone knows what kind of buggy it is, I'll gladly post the info. ----- Thanks for stopping by and for your great comments on yesterday's image, RGB Dragons.

There's a new alien show coming out this fall, I wonder if he escaped from the set? Thanks for sharing this critter..I've never seen one and I lived in Florida for 40 years..great find..

A most interesting insect and I wish I know the species to which it belongs. Looks like you just had the car waxed too.

Now this IS different...what a SUPRISE to find and capture! Love that NEON green coloring! It looks like a nymph of some kind! Couldn't find a match over at bugguide.net (good resource for this kinda stuff)

I don't know what kind of bug it is but its a fantastic find. It seems to be glowing like its from something out of this world. Hope they are not invading earth? Best take a good shower tonight, lol. Excellent job in finding things that people don't normally find. Aloha

Fantastic capture Kort, this cute little fellow seems lost on your roof. I agree with Enmos, it seems to be a nimph or he's a new incoming from outerspace ;) whatever, excellent shots and presentation.
