Yesterday while my husband and I were outside, this bug landed on a hibiscus close to where Terry was standing. Not one we normally see, I ran inside to grab my cell phone to take its picture. Terry trying to hold the limb from blowing in the breeze startled him and he flew off. A little while later either he or another one returned and I was able to get a few photos.
Looking it up, I've learned this is called a leaf-footed bug. It's quite large and not exactly one I'd want landing on me. I was fine getting close to it as bugs don't normally make me crazy (except bees and ticks) unless they unexpectedly land on me.
Stonehenge Aqua / Lamy Safari with De Altramentis Document Brown ink. I used Paynes Grey and Bt Sienna for this (QoR watercolors).
