damn beast tried to land on me in the backyard last night!!!!:shocked:

Its about 2 inches long and has, as you can see, two huge fake eyes on his back...

Looks cool, tasted bad. just kidding


scary as a maggot?
what is it?

Those aint his/her eyes, jesus and here I am thinking thats the front. If those were his/her eyes and that was the front it would have been cute but since its the other way around its eerie.

If that had landed on my daughter she literally would have fainted. She is bug phobic.

Some kinda bug The "eyes" design is a product of evolution, meant to scare off predators.

they are fake eyes to scare off predators........some kind of mimicry etc.

its head is much smaller and right above those fake eyes. See the antennas

One of the most amazing things about evolution is things like that.
