Phil showed up with a new pet this morning, a rather large slow moving bug. We called it a leaf bug, but I'm sure Andrew can shed more light on the proper name when he reads this blog. Look for his comment to this entry.
Check out the way the wings look exactly like a leaf. It was pretty awesome. We also liked the yellow eyes.
I was just kidding about the "new pet". This would not pass the Mom-test. Phil released it in a bush and said it practically vanished due to it's ingenious camouflage.
