Strange Green Bug - Microcentrum rhombifolium - Female
Ottawa County, Ohio, USA
May 10, 2005
Size: Inch & a Half To 2 Inches
Possbly a flyer, though not a very good one, it's missing legs so maybe it's flying was effected, if it's not a flyer it's a looong jumper.
I heard this big guy land in my front yard with a hearty Pop sound he landed in a pile of leaves. very cool looking guy but I can't find anything even close to like him anywhere
