My husband brought me an old spice jar, saying “Look who’s been stalking you!” There was something in the jar. Since the last thing that jar had held was a deer tick, and because I’ve been fretting over ticks lately, I jumped to the conclusion that he’d brought me another tick. I was not pleased.
But it turned out to be a six-spotted green tiger beetle, star of a recent Mystery Thing post. He had brought me the bug so I’d have another opportunity to take pictures of it. Wasn’t that sweet in an icky buggy way?
So I took some pictures of Mr. Greenbug. Here he is in the spice jar.
And here he is on the patio after I released him.
After taking this picture, I turned away for a moment, and he was gone. Good-bye and good luck, Mr. Greenbug!
