....which is a Mirid bug. My lack of focus excuse today is that this insect would not stop walking, except to briefly wash his antennae as in the second shot, but I thought it was interesting enough to post. I would like to find another. I did see one last year as well.

Well done focus notwithstanding. I wonder what function those antennae evolved to perform.
