This is the back of the side mirror on one of our cars.
At first I thought the green thing stuck to it
was some leaf or tree debris from one of our recent storms.
Upon closer inspection I could tell it was an insect of some kind.
When I looked even closer,
I could see that the back and front sets of legs were stretched out straight.
The antennae are extremely long.
I've done a Google search and think this is probably a scudderia (katydid) nymph.
Get out your foil hat; it's an alien!!
