It’s amazing how many critters come from outside, end up in the kitchen sink, and need to be rescued and put outside again.

About 5 mm long. I'd love to have a name for him.

This was tiny, perhaps 2mm. Likes to perch on grass stems and wave its front legs around before jumping to a new spot. Caliscelis is the closest match I could find.

Hostplant: Cyperus sp.

Fast, small, likes to hide. Lucky to get any photos!
