    Golly Gosh Awais........... I have never seen such a bug before, how weird is that little guy....the fact that it's green makes me think it probably doesn't live under the ground, hope you find out what it is, I would be most interested to know what on earth it is......... Great Find on your part Awais.

    I've looked through 2 Insect Books and cannot find anything that even looks anything like it in either of them ne_nau.gif

    Thanks for sharing your alien bug ......... Skippy (Australia)

    Whatever that is, I don't want to meet up with it in a dark alley. Very very cool Awais. Are you sure you took this on planet Earth? I've never seen anything like it. What the heck is it? Looks like a scorpion mated with a maple tree....Laughing.gif

    That is a totally unique bug. Amazing the diversity of life and the evolutionary paths this little blue ball lends life too.

    Send photos of it to the Natural History Museum or Kew Gardens. Maybe they have records of what it is or maybe as someone said, you've discovered a new species!! It might get called the Awais Beetle (if its a beetle) or the Yaqub fly or something!!wings.gif

    Here's their link

    wow Awais, they'll probably come & rope off your house & make it a rare bug park. You'll have to move out. :D

    very interesting little critter you found there. I also have never seen anything like that before..

    You should hunt that down and capture it. Especially since it might be named after you..

    Dunno Awais ... I would give some serious thought to moving. (Here, your house would lose value because you would have to disclose the alien insect in your selling documents).
