I do not know what this insect is named or anything about it.
I found this critter right here, on the upside edge of the window screen portion of the back door, and never saw her/him arrive or leave. Sometimes s/he’d lift her/his head and I’d see something red beneath. Probably not a tongue, though.
This is a later post than intended. It got windy mid-day and the power went out. Oh, yippee.
