I can imagine, poor things. Pasiano once sprayed one with some sort of insecticide and it was all curled up and dying on the screen. I saw it and prayed it with the acid water that was the byproduct of my alkaline water machine and it completely hydrated, uncurled and ended up crawlind down the screen and back up to the vine. It was amazing. That water is used in cancer wards in Canada and elsewhere and I used it to spray on bathers stung by jellyfish and manta rays at the beach..Amazing stuff.
I love those creatures. Have done countless blogs on them over the years. They go through 4 or 5 stages…each completely different. In one, they have a single plumelike antenna.
It’s quite small yet scary

But fascinating. I never kill them. Just relocate.

They are quite messy when squished accidentally
