Field Notes

Description:

My friend found this guy on campus, people were just carelessly stepping over him on the step, not even noticing. He helped me catch her in the jar so we could take her to the bug lab we work in. We were curious about how it attacks and eats, so we caught a cricket and threw it in the jar. It was the coolest thing to watch this bug in action. I definitely never want to get in the way of them!
