So now that I am a so-called "bug expert", I have received more than a few requests for ID of a bug. Today I received in the mail from my dad (2100 miles away) a tiny package well wrapped with a little corpse inside. He caught and semi-squashed this critter in his dining room. As near as I can tell, this would be some type of leaf-footed bug. They like to come inside when it gets cold and hang out in houseplants. I'm surprised this one lasted inside as long as it did in New England. This is a picture of what it looked like before Dad squashed it.
I plan to collect all weird bugs and send them over to you. Does the PO accept live ones?
