TeslasCompass Posted August 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2015 My wife and I live in upstate New York and this happened to be on her leg in our livingroom. I've seen many bugs around here, but I've never seen anything like this one. Would anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted August 17, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Looks like some sort of katydid or katydid nymph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeslasCompass Posted August 17, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted August 17, 2015 That's what I originally thought. The red head of it and the patterns on it's back are strange though. We have katydids all around here and they have a triangular back. If it's a nymph it would be cool to find since it's back is flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormalcy Posted August 18, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Interesting. Looks a lot like an assassin bug? http://www.wired.com/2010/10/assassin-bug-spider-prey/ I might recommend you post and ask on Reddit - they identified a spider for me in a day, and I'd never been there before, I signed up JUST to see if they could do it.

Imaginarynumber1 Posted August 20, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Clearly an advanced scout from the Insectoid mother ship that is currently draining energy from the sun to prepare for the arrival of Nibiru and the enslavement of humanity to mine for gold for.... reasons.

MyOtherAccount Posted August 21, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 21, 2015 To me it looks like some kind of a mantis. Maybe a walking stick? Or perhaps an onnamispous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted August 22, 2015 #25 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's either a noseeum or a snipe. I don't think anyone snipe hunts anymore. Maybe they went extinct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
