So we're sitting on the deck enjoying the breeze and shooting the same and we hear this "plop" sound and catch some motion out of the corner of our eyes. What you see below is the culprit. This insect is about an inch and a half long an sports some very nice "fake eyes" on its back. It was pretty docile and I was able to "herd" it away from where I needed to stand to cook the steaks at the grill--it walked away briskly when prodded by my finger, but did not attempt to gain flight in fright. Anybody have an idea just what it is?
