Could someone tell me what kind of being is this? I have never seen anything like it around here until now... so Im very curious...
Thank you!
ps. the image comes from a documentary, but I am pretty sure it was the thing I saw... absolutely!

You guys are amazing... thank you. The poor "beeing" flew in the kitchen at a wrong time, because my grandma - scared out of her wits - killed it with a few well-placed flapper strike... We have never saw anything like it before - the city dwellers we are - and my grandma draw the conclusion that the thing was a mutant. I assured her that there was no such thing... but now I have proof, and everyone can calm down. She also promised she wont kill another being of this short for they play an important role in pollination.  |

Grannies can be pretty accurate and frightening with their flappers...
