The entire bug is interesting in shape and colour but the body part that makes it unique is the front leg. Notice how it makes a bit of a pincher to hang onto its prey.
I thought the bug looked quite familiar when I first saw it earlier in the month. After some reflection, I remembered that I did a watercolour sketch of the bug 5 years ago and then did a limited edition from an etching later. Here is a photo of my original watercolour.
