Insect Bride

by tim on February 15, 2009

We were lounging outside when we saw this really weird insect, this is unlike any insect we have ever seen. I am not an expert in insects but I do know the common ones and this one is not common to me at all.

For one, the insect is strutting around our table in a wedding dress, it looks like one to me that is. And it’s not afraid to be touched or photographed as other insects usually are. It has six legs and tail feathers with three spikes, sort of fanning out like a peacock’s. There are two distinct black dots on the part where the tail and body intersects and inline with its eyes, the body is spread out like that of a cobra’s and its whole body save for the dots and its eyes is snowy white. The insect is about 3/4 of an inch long and its really pretty. It’s still strutting around in the table outside as I am writing this post.

Have you ever seen anything like this? If you have can you tell me what kind of insect this is? I have attached pictures and a video below…
