This bug looks like the cousin to the fist-sized, flying attack bug in one of my favourite movies, Bubba Ho-Tep — old Elvis versus a Mummy. So much awesome in that sentence. I found this guy waiting on a leaf on a flower at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre gardens, maybe he was looking for food, maybe just catching a few moments of contemplation, but he was probably waiting for his turn to mount the bug being serviced on the next leaf over. Interesting… I wonder if, by picking him up, I ruined his chances of passing along his DNA. It’s possible I just brought the end of his species a few days closer… and, maybe, that’ll be the tipping point that leads to the extinction of our species. Fuck yeah, I’m in the history books now baby.
Wow look at the focus on this, I can see his hairy little legs. Nice!

Thanks Kitty, I was really happy with this one. I did crop away about 3/5 of the original image, but if it was any more in focus you’d be able to see my DNA.
