Great shot! What an interesting little critter. I don't think I've ever seen one before. But then I don't normally go around looking for insects. They just seem to find me!
what cool little antennas, sort of like little antlers. We have lots of this mullein too. I think it's called "common mullein" and the other that I photgraphed is called "moth mullein"
@aikimomm Thanks Phoebe! @taffy Thanks Taffy! @kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @prttblues Thanks Bev! I don't really look for them either but they do seem to have a habit of popping up in the pictures! @basqgirl Thanks Amy! @leestevo Thanks Lee-Ann! @francoise Thanks Francoise! Yes, this is the Common Mullein which is what I was really intending to shoot until this fellow sort of photo-bombed the picture and stole the show. @salza Thanks Sally! @pyrrhula Thanks Pyrrhula! @henrir Thanks Henri!
I tried looking through my bug book to find out what he is, but no such luck. Those antennae really stand out but I couldn't find any matches. So his identity remains a mystery.
