Field Notes

Description:

This bug is quite common around here, and I spotted it more than once. One thing I didn't notice, though, is that its green "shoulder" spots are extremely reflexive. Although they don't have a light of their own, like fireflies, the slightest light make them shine intensely. I wonder what the bugs potential enemies would think seeing it in the shaded áreas of the bushes...

That just looks wicked:) Love the reflective "eyes". Might make a predator think twice!
