I can't make out what position it is in! Is that an eye...? Perhaps a strange insect "mutation"...! Congrats on a very wierd POTD!

Whoa, he's freaky! What kind of insect is he? Is he only found in Peru, Ivan? Congrats on an excellent and interesting capture!

Hi Renee, Linn, Rinaldo & Joy. Thanks for opinions. I was really surprise when I found it on my refrigerator´s door. It was 11:oo pm more or less so quickly get the camera with ext. flash and do a photo session, then I put it into a bottle and leave outside home free. I was very strange I can send you more views If you send me mails. To the left we can see head, and eye also. My mail: iquiba@msn.com iquiba@msn.com
