When I began using the plastic tweezers to remove all the rubble, I had some trouble. Something on it's back made it very sticky, coupled with it not staying still. When I got to its body it kept sticking to the tweezers. Finally getting it off, it began crawling around again, and when coming to a piece of seed or the rubble I removed, it pinched it up, inspected it, then swiveled it's pinchers to glue it back..
What a funny little bug! It looks like garbage, and cleans up after itself, but it is a predator. Here again, some may call them benificial.
