Did I mention a faux bloody horn and pink eyes on this purple people eater? I found this adorable monster hanging on my clothes outside on the drying line. Even though that horn looks like it speared something to death it was harmless to me - i pull this little bug up off my shirt to examine it...Strong legs. But no other threatening action. It's main line of defense is to hide, to move slowly and not be seen. It did not even use it's wings to fly away.
It has lots of sheen, spot, dots, and texture to it's outer body. Colors also seemed to shift slightly in the bright light.
The texture is tons of tiny indentations. The eyes though are smooth and protruding bigger then someone with undiagnosed hyper-thyroidism.
**Can anyone identify what sort of bug this is? **It has a grasshopper feel to it, but didn't hop or fly. It's got dragonfly colored wings. It's got a locust face. And a horn like a rhino beetle.
Who are you!?!
