I was putting in the garden the other day, and saw this odd-looking little bug.

He had an eye on
me, too...moving around the stem as I tried to check him out.

Finally I got a look at his face! Let me introduce you to
Ceresa diceros, a.k.a.
Tree Hopper.

He's only the size of my pinky nail, and very geometrically shaped...

....and frankly pretty! I can't decide if he looks prehistoric or futuristic.....

...though he
does remind me of that
bar scene in the original Star Wars movie.

Definintely prehistoric, but I agree it's unique and cute (but maybe not a he, lol!).
P.S. My winnings showed up today!!
Heh, I tend to assign "he" status to lots of creatures. Glad to hear that you got your prizes! I hope they're as cool as they sounded :)
It definitely looks futuristic, kinda creepy and cool at the same time.
My sentiment exactly!
What a cool looking bug!
I thought so too! :)
Oh yeah, definitely Star Wars bar scene... :)
