 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.

 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.
