Yet another insect ID request......
17 years ago
Based on this insect's rather awkward, lumbering movements, I'm guessing it's a nymph of some sort. Or maybe I'm completely off base. One thing the photos don't show is what attracted me to him in the first place: his total metallic iridescence. He looks like he's made of gold and silver. And his legs look like they've been dipped in gold dust.
He was slightly over an inch long.
Thanks for your help!
Susan
