I have probably seen a species of something that has not yet been discovered but I wouldnt know!
Two stories
My mum caught a moth that had flown into her bedroom, it was brightly coloured with an array of colours including yellow and green. I myself didnt
see the creature however she sent it off to a lab in Cambridge, England as she had never seen such a thing. Unfortunately it was an already
discovered species.
When I was much younger, 8 or 9, I was playing down by the railway tracks, boys will be boys, in a huge pile of abandoned car and tractor tyres that
we had arranged into a den. We had piled them up and made a small network of tunnels (hey we were bored, yeah I had a NES but the only games I had
were Home Alone and Robocop!!!). Anyway as I was crawling through I saw something that made me rush out of the complex of tyres and never set foot in
our rubber kingdom again.
Now what I saw I had never seen before and also have never seen anything like it since. It was all black, I would guess four inches or so long, quite
bulky. It resembled a grasshopper or a locust however was jet black and had one distinguishable feature. Where locusts and grasshoppers backs seem
to trail off and then finish bluntly this things rear end sort of pointed up brandishing what looked like a large spike. So picture a black
grasshopper with a large spike on its rear end.
Now it would have been fairly dark in the rubber tunnels despite it being daylight and so what I saw could have been a normal grasshopper and the
light reflected off the tyres making the insect appear black.
I dont know. I may post a new topic see if anyone knows what it is.
