Sat 05 May 2004Eye on NatureObservations on natureWe had a visitor to our porch on May 10th. The bug had had red antlers, legs and wings. It came down off the wall and was well disguised under a leaf beside a terracotta pot. One of its legs looked a little bent. He has visited our porch before, about a year ago, and remained on the wall for about three days before disappearing.
