Default He came from out there.....

If someone told me a month ago that I would be taking pics of weird bugs instead of shooing them back outside I would have laughed at them. Instead I chased this little guy around my kitchen, at one point climbing on a chair because he landed on the wall behind my refrigerator. These are not the best of pics but the markings on the back of this fellow were stunning.

The alien---

He came from outside

The THING---

I was finally able to shoo him back outside, because while I enjoyed taking pics of him I certainly didn't want him to stay.

Maybe he was a friendly little moth, Leona, but I didn't want him landing on me in the middle of the night. Thanks. I can always count on you for a kind word.

great shot. and yes a camera in your hands makes you do things you wouldn't normally do.
I used to be afraid of bee's now I'm purpousely getting within a foot of wasps trying to get their pictures

Isn't it strange the things we find ourselves doing with a camera in our hand? We're all obsessed, I tell you! Very interesting colors and texture.
