Still Leaf

I love it when you discover something that looks like something, but it's not.  This is the leaf bug I stumbled upon in my yard the other day.  I watched him for quite a while before I went in the house and got my camera, and when I got back, he was in the same exact position.  It made me think how rare it is that we really stop and savor those true moments of stillness.

Where Do I Go From Here?

Here is an insect my son found on a cannon at the Chickamauga Battlefield.  As of this afternoon, I still don't know what it is and have decided to submit a request to http://bugguide.net/node/view/15740.  I'll let you know what it is as soon as I find out.  That is, if I'm lucky enough to have my request answered.

* It is a leaf-footed bug (Acanthocephala declivis).
