Stuart the green shield beetle update.

Stuart decided to hide in a soggy reciept which I had left next to some flowers in my hallway. When I tried to scrunch the reciept, (how was I to know where he was?) he got REALLY angry and fell out with his wings beating violently. It turns out he makes a really nasty buzzing noise when he's upset, and he flew onto the top of the window frame and has been there for about a week now. He's sulking and won't go back on the plant I put there.

Oh, here's the picture I took when he first appeard on my balcony in summer (June/July maybe), 2007.

Stuart!
