Just curious if any one has seen this Green Guy ?
And if so do you know what it is ?
The spots might give it away .

Either way...now...are you seeing the bullseyes? Keep jumping.


There just isn't much information out there on the Cotton Web Spinner. You could always post on BugGuide or one of those sites that will id.
