Calathea Stomata

<p>
 Insect found by my son and me indoors in Brooklyn, NY.
</p>
<p>
 Photo of front and back. Wondering what it is?
</p>
<p>
 My first camera photos with new Foldscope. The insect was about 2 or 3 mm long, walking slowly on the table. It seemed gentle, we thank it for its life so we can learn about it.
</p>
<p>
 It might have flown over from nearby indoor plants, or arrived for food. I thought it had wings, but don’t see them in these images after it was squished between sticky slide tapes.
