Anyone ever seen a bug like this???

This thing is right outside our shop door.....

I don't know. Pick it up, and see how friendly it is.

Ding, Ding...We have a winner...Does this mean I now owe you a case of beer Doug?
I have never in my life saw one before today...
I believe that if that thing would have landed on me, I would fall over dead.

Get the shotgun out and wait for that bird to fly !!!!

Step on it

I'll take a bottle of red wine, preferably a fruity Merlot. My Cardiologist said instead of drinking beer, drink red wine to raise my good cholesterol .

The "Fruity" part has me worried about you Doug..........

I'd see how it reacts to some brakeclean..................

Yall need to quit getting drunk and cross breeding them bugs

Hell, I was afraid to get close enough to take the pics...let alone spray it with anything...that thing has the "gift of flight" you know.

Yea, Yea, Yea...... and we humans have an apposable thumb and a trigger finger !!!

It's a grapple skidder with wings.

Down south we would call it...a small one.

^^^ no joke!!! Our "skeetas" are bigger than that


Personally Id go the carb cleaner and bic lighter route but thats just me.

If you know any kids taking HS biology or doing 4H they may want that critter.
Back in the day I had a summer biology class and did the required bug collection. We had some strange critters in them but nothing like that.

That thing looks like the nasty critter that flew into my trailer last year at a race in Belle Rose Louisana. It looked like a bat with pinchers and big wings.
It flew in...and I dove out the door!
There was a small one inside the trailer when I got back to Atlanta.
Ugly little thang,

LMAO! it could be a saucer headed lap lizard?

What kind of women have you had around that shop of yours and what have you been drinking

Yup, thats a msaller one. You ought to see the collection my mother has from teaching Biology over 33 years. Kids get brave enough to catch them and bring them to her.
