Field Notes

Description:

I got eaten alive by mosquitos trying to photograph this interesting looking bug. I was very amusing as it appeared camera shy. As soon as I pointed the camera at it, it would turn around and walk off in the opposite direction. Every time!! Small green pea sized bug, blends very well into it's surroundings. Has some spikes on the front part above it's head.

Habitat:

Found it feeding off the mandarin tree in the back yard. There seem to be dozens on there.
