A Bugs World

I've got a very small junebug trapped under a giant plastic thing (the clear cover for a stack of CDs) on my desk.

I'm looking at it now, pondering how to proceed.

Unlike a spider or mosquito hawk, which just sit still until you move them, this little dude walks along the perimeterm then jumps and flies at the walls 4 or 5 times till [s]he knocks [him]self down on his/her back, then flips, walks around, and starts over.

[S]He's a medium brown color. About the size of a jelly belly. I'm not going to name 'em.

What to do, what to do...


UPDATE:

Now [s]he's sitting in the very center of the plastic lid-thing. Legs spread, back arched. Hasn't moved in about 3 minutes.

Bah! Any bug that sneaks into this chica's room has a stronger sonstituation than that.

Nice icon, btw. The seagulls were pretty funny.
