BACKYARD VISITORS
While watering our tomato plant this afternoon, I looked down and saw this creature crawling around by my feet. I do not know what this creature is called. I do know it has what appears to be a sharp horn on its rear end.
My guy is green. Your guy is yellow. Other than that, they look identical. Maybe they're brothers who happen to be different colors. That happens sometimes in nature, you know.
I think the yellow could just be a matter of lighting. And I've heard about brothers who end up being different colors. Read about it in a magazine or something. :)

I've got the forum ladies hard at work to help you identify your critter. :)
What do you think of this?
