Its movement was slow as it navigated the blade of leaf. But soon, the gold parted in the middle and a pair of wings magically appeared:) Before I could even take it all in, the alien flew away...never to be seen again!! Sigh!<br /><br />When I asked our-off-and-on-odd-job- man whether he had ever seen anything like that, he replied in a very nonchalant manner...Oh they normally stay on the underside of leaves!!<br /><br />I hope I'll manage better shots of this 'spaceship' next time...if it comes again, all dressed up to the nines..in gold!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000965361716090014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-13128615686358499752009-10-29T10:33:32.756+05:302009-10-29T10:33:32.756+05:30Your Knight in shiny armour?Your Knight in shiny armour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-50337493087536412162009-10-29T09:51:05.607+05:302009-10-29T09:51:05.607+05:30It kind of looks like a bug visiting from outer sp...It kind of looks like a bug visiting from outer space!Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142842012400714232.post-62221595187936554322009-10-29T08:20:43.671+05:302009-10-29T08:20:43.671+05:30Ha, that does look like a wonder bug!
