July 20, 2017


Location: Fellsmere, my screen porch

I'm an Anisomorpha buprestoides,
A.K.A, "Two-striped Walking Stick"
I can shoot stinky goo right into your eye,
That will feel like acid sulphuric.

(Note: I had the camera between me and the bug, I do not recommend getting this close, the stuff they shoot will hurt very bad, and they actually know now to aim.)
