Perseid passenger? #1
I think 1 of the Perseid meteors made it through our atmosphere... this looks too alien to be from here :P
Male Spiny Leaf Insect (Extatosoma tiaratum)
It's actually a species of stick insect, not a true leaf insect.
A bit strange that it was here where I live because they are a sub-tropical to tropical insect usually, which is why I was so surprised to see it.
If viewed at the wrong angle, the pointy end of its head looks like the front or mouth end... tilt your head to the left or right and you should see what I mean :)
