This fearsome looking insect I spotted while walking along a woodland path, The orange spot on its back and the pattern along it;'s side seems to suggest a forest bug after looking in my insect book. Again confirmation would be welcomed.
Flames all around...lol...Like a bug is going to go fast enough for flames. The other side had something diffferent, but, very busy street with daughter. so, I didn't get that one.
On friday, this bug looked like a white, fuzzy/pointy, caterpillar-ish thing when it was captured. It was definitely insect-like in its legs; but it had little branch-y things poking out all over it.
By friday evening (see earlier pictures) it had changed to a green flying insect.
By saturday evening, its wings had color and it was darker green and more evil looking. Sorry for the poor focus it is very very tiny.
