This thing clung to my shirt whilst I was riding a bike for a solid hour. When I arrived, he stayed on and when I tried to gently pull him off, he had gripped onto my shirt with those little hooked feet! Usually I think of insects as quite flimsy but this thing felt pretty robust and it’s grip was strong. It wasn’t until it got off that I saw it had wings.
