I found this unique looking insect in the field behind Teresa Hall while helping my friend take graduation photos. I was not sure at all what this bug could be, but I knew it was super cool, but not anything I wanted to be around. Thank to the iNaturalist community, I was able to identify this insect as the Giant Leaf-footed Bug. As an act of defense this bug will emit a loud noise at it flies away if approached which I experienced firsthand as I tried to approach it…. and I got the message loud and clear! Luckily, I did not experience its second method of defense which is to emit a foul odor.
