Bit of an ugly critter.

Interesting seeing their underside. Did it topple over?

I don't think they are ugly bless em. They just stand there blankly looking at you. I know they are meant to smell and be a pain for your runner beans but I've never had an issue from seeing the odd one growing them.

I've never had much interaction with them, I was told they can be a pest. I like looking at insects, they can be fascinating. Yes, it fell out of a bucket I found it in. Saw an opportunity 😃

Your photo is great, by the way. 👍 😃

Same, I find insects fascinating. If they don't affect my crops, they can do as they please. It's their home more than mine.

It's come out quite blurry from the compression on here tbh but I prefer a wider pic in it's environment than a close up sometimes, it shows their scale better as people instinctively know how big a nettle leaf can be for comparison ect.

Trouble is, they like crops. 😉

But, we all have our place on this big rotating rock. 😃

I totally concur. It is. 👍
