My neighbor Jackie came over a few days ago with a medicine bottle. She told me she found this little bug walking on her arm. I took pictures but it was moving fast and I didn’t have enough light for a good field-of-view.
I have a lot of respect for Jackie because she is senior citizen who does not automatically kill bugs just because it’s in her house. A lot of folks in her generation squish first, ask questions later. Jackie is a good Buddhist, she just doesn’t know it, and neither does her Lutheran minister.
So I looked on WhatsThatBug.com and struck out. Anyone a closet entomoligist?

Sort of looks like a bitty walking stick. Cute little bugger!
Have you ever tried (briefly) refrigerating speedy little critters to slow ’em down a bit? All it takes is a little finesse. And a jar. And a cold place.
