Who knows bugs??

Hi people,

Not sure this is the right forum to post this but eh!

I have seen a lot of bugs in by life being in person or in documentaries but this one is really new to me,, My wife spotted it on the screen door to our backyard and I was surprised because I had never seen this bug before. Here is a picture and a few more will follow shortly.

Looks a bit odd to me. Could it be one of these nano spy drones we are hearing about?

I guess so cause it just flew off eventually, I saw it! I never neen anything like thins. I find it funny cause its shape almost looks like the shape of a toad. Also remember that the scares around it is a screen door...its pretty tiny

A baby moth is a caterpillar
a baby caterpillar is a larva.

Peace

tortoise beetle for sure. I grew up with them around my house, when they are younger they are a gold color.
