I have no idea what this creature is, but it’s living on one of our plants. Anyone want to chime in with an ID?

spielberg’s got nothin’

I don’t really watch science fiction movies.

But as far as I can tell (from the trailers, anyway), the weird-looking creatures that appear therein are basically large insects with human tendencies.

Take, for example, this guy, who turned up on our kitchen table this evening (we’re still not sure how):

Fatten him up, add a few more legs, make him 10 times bigger, put some light bulbs in his eyes, and you’ve got something straight out of Independence Day.

(Is it sad that I can’t think of any other alien movies right now?)

Personally, I like this guy just as he is. Hope he catches something yummy in our garden.

(And if he’s really a she, I’m dreadfully sorry.)
