This dude was on the screen of my screened in porch this morning. He was on the inside so this is his topside. A second one was on the outside.

EEEEWWWWW!!!! I like the picture, though. The but looks like an alien. Did you get rid of him?

Eeeew! Nice job with the shot - but gives me the willies knowing he was on the inside of the screen!

A little exposure compensation might have helped with the back lighting problem. Or not. Looks like tough lighting no matter what you did. Gee, I sure wouldn't want one of these guys inside my house!!! I hear their bite can really be nasty.
There is something at the rear of the bug that looks like a thicker leg with a webbed duck's foot. What was that in real life? Because the image is close to being a silhouette, I can't make out the details. Did he have prey?
