Thanks John B. we always start off from somewhere, I don't even know how to focus my camera that time so my spotting was blurry, hope I come across the same species of bug and take a better photo.
Great Spotting, Francis. When I saw it this morning, I wondered why I hadn't noticed it before, but I looked at the date and realised that was the month when I joined Project Noah and I probably did not know how to look at other people's spottings yet.
