We kept our house plants outdoors for the summer months and when Chris decided to bring the jade plant back in, there was a little fellow that came in with it. We named him Verde and kept him in Austin's bug habitat for a day. We all agreed that he was the cutest bug we'd ever seen, despite his enormous size and beady little eyes.
Here's a picture of Austin holding Verde just before we let released him back into the wild. I think we would have kept him a little longer had it not been for the fact that we couldn't identify him so we didn't know what to feed him and we really didn't want to have a burial for him, being that he was so darn cute and all. If any of you can identify him let us know. We looked online all over...thought he was a leaf bug because he blend quite well in the leaves, but found that leaf bugs look much different from Verde.
All the Spanish Austin is learning in school is paying off. When I suggested we name our lovely bug Verde, he corrected my pronunciation, "No Mommy. It's Verrrrde,"as he rolled the R in Verrrrrde. Good going pal, glad to see you're paying attention to Senor Juan at school.
