Flag Footed Bug

Anisocelis flavolineata

Description:

It uses its "Flag" legs to cheat any possible threat into believing that these apendix are the real body. You often find specimens missing one leg.

Notes:

The last time I saw one of these I could only get one shot, this time I found a really cooperative model!
