It = probably came in on firewood. We released it outdoors today and it flew = off with great enthusiasm (but it's probably doomed to quick freezing.) I have a feeling that it is one of the true bugs, perhaps an Assassin = Bug. The body length was about 1.2cm. It had a sort of thoracic shield, = a very small head, and I was able to convince myself that I saw a beak = stowed away underneath.=20 Anybody care to comment?
