C’est un montage Gisèle ? Je ne peux pas croire que cette espèce d’abeille ait de si grandes oreilles !! C’est un mutant !!!!....en tout cas, excellent close-up
micmac replied
Je jure sur la tête de mon père,Dieu est son âme,que je n’ai rien fais à cette petite bête.J’étais au chalet de mes amis quand je l’ai photographiée.Je n’avais jamais vu une bestiole de ce genre,on dirait une larve en train de muter en papillon mais c’est pas certain….merçi Corinne…x

I have put my contacts at the parks sytem entimology dept on figuring this out! serious! I directed them to it and thy are passing it around I still think its a composite!
micmac replied
LOL It’s not a composite,I swear…I deleted tghe other pics because they’re were not good enough …this one is untouched …it realy looked made of fur with these big ears …I want to know what it is ….????
shallay
Sorry micmac, I cannot believe such an animal exists! I was sure you were joking. Sao biscuits are a brand name for a large square savoury cracker they make in Australia (and obviously not Canada). – Just resembled a big mouldy biscuit the ‘caterpillar’ was crawling on.
micmac replied
I’m not joking…lol it was very small with no mouth,just a furry little thing with big ears but I think it was something between larva and the real thing…don’t know what the real thing looks like though…. :)))
micmac replied
Oh! Thanks for the explanation…I wish I could taste one of them….:)))
Gilberte
Bonsoir Gigi…quelle étrange créature..Avoir des pattes en-dessous de son nez…je crois qu’elle est entrain d’avaler une autre bestiole.
micmac replied
J’ai pas l’impression que les gens me croient…hihihi pourtant cette petite bête de 2 cm existe …j’aimerais bien savoir ce que c’est…j’espères que tu es venue à bout de ta mauvaise herbe…il faut que je regarde sur internet ce que c’est au juste de l’ivraie,j’en ai probablement partout dans mon jardin… :))) je t’envoies quelques photos bientôt ..bisou mon amie…big hugzzzz

carpenter777

Christopher E...
that is weird, strange you found this where you are, other day i found a bug that looked like it had false eyelashes on it, i swear, unfortunately was at work and i couldnt get a shot of it
probably both are results of the mad scientists we have around?
Lucindawind
ummm an alien ! I dont have a clue what that is awesome shot
Sharon Mau
Oh God! It is freaky!! Have you discovered what it is yet?
That is one of the strangest looking things I have ever seen! Totally bizarre!
Laura Lea Comeau

micmac replied
Are you serious…two friends of mine saw that weird little thing…I’m beginning to thing it realy was a mutant…I will make some research with the Biodome of Montreal….maybe it will work…thank you for your help…Gigi
Lois Bryan
hahah … not a clue … ears attached to a furry nose?? With legs??? omg .. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I just read through all the comments … and you still don’t have an answer?? I’ll have to check back from time to time because I’m really hooked, now!!!!
lorilee
Curiouser and curiouser!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL
Nanagahma
I’m with Lois, this thing is weird, but somehow kinda cute with those “ears”. Let us all know when you find out, OK?
CapturedByKylie
This is one strange creature- whatever it is. It could possibly be some type of mutant… do you live near any areas where chemicals are sprayed (farming areas, factories, industrial areas)?
I recently read how some fish farms are getting 2 and 3 headed baby fish because nearby farms are spraying chemicals which are leeching into the waterways and ending up in the water the fish farms use.

Whatever it is, it’s cute! You should try entering it into Bug Hunt group,1.1 macro photography group, and Macro Untouched grup. He almost looks like part mouse and part bug!
Lynda McDonald
you got me on this one!..............not a clue, it’s so strange it looks like you created it but i read the comments and apparently u really would like to know what it is
bdazzled
Very intriguing – but a great shot :-)
Robert Burton
I would guess that it is a moth but during the pupation period it didn’t change properly, perhaps due to the presence of mutagenic toxins in the local environment. The ears are probably wings – look at the spots on them, they look like typical wing spots. Please update this comments thread if you find out what it is!
Robert Burton
ps I am no expert it is just an half-baked guess…
micmac replied
Hi Robert,thank you so much for your help,you are probably right.I’ve sent photos to the Insectarium of Montreal to see what kind of moth this is …have a super day…Gisele
Laura Lea Comeau
well I sent it to my 2 most knowledgeable park contacts – let see what they think!
Pardus
Wow… you were lucky to find this before its wings opened!
Vanessa Barklay
