This large one was found on a screen outside my adironadack cottage porch one evening

This one is on my finger, allowing for a great close up of its funny nosed face.

It kept reaching up into the air as if looking for something to crawl onto

I was pretty psyched it didn't try to fly away, although with such a short lifespan it figured what the heck, stick to the giant for now

Love this coloring, those aren't antennae in front of its head but its forelegs.

Makes me sad that such a beautiful creation only lasts a few days at most :(

A great profile of its face, small and almost human-like, well, more tha most other insects!
