I think that this is simply a dried and shrivelled Rose hip from last year, but I agree it does look like some strange insect! |

Hi Jennie,
Looking at it again I think you're spot-on! Shows how my imagination runs riot sometimes. I think I wanted it to be something strange and fearsome!
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated. |

It shows how the human mind works, and reminds me of threads where people have seen what are probably large black domestic cats, but want to believe that they've seen pumas.

Hi Jim,
Know exactly what you mean. Strangely enough, I'd had a pretty quiet but long day in the wildlife department - but then spotted this strange formation on a wild rose. Macro on!! After that stopped thinking logically and wanted a bizarre creature!!! Thanks for your response. There must be others out there who've been caught out. I wonder if they will tell us? |

Well to be honest, I looked at this last night and thought it must be a wind-up....new member an' all. Therefore, I didn't respond  The give-away, I think, is the stick-like protuberance from the creature's rear! (i.e. it is "attached" to something much larger!  )
Welcome to WAB, btw
