The Insect at the Kitchen Sink


This lovely insect's back body was above its wings, which you can't really see in these photos but is different than most bugs seem to be. As it perched by the kitchen faucet, it was doing a strange and crazy little dance with its two frontmost legs, sort of twitching just the tips of them back and forth, back and forth, but with no apparent rhythm or reason (though to another bug it might have been obvious).


It reminds me of the Other Tiny Pollinator of the Tiny Flowers because of the long, thin, bulbous-at-the-end body, but clearly they are not the same.
