But, much to my surprise, a day or two later I saw the exact same sort of bug apparently completely content in my house plant on my desk. Well, I'm a good roommate, and I don't mind sharing my space, so I let him stay. We've become quite friendly as the time passed...he likes facebook, and will often sit on my arm as I type or get quite close up with my friend's status updates...
Incidentally, Ray Dademo's status now has, at last count, 46 comments. Just putting that out there - the bug isn't the only one interested.
I was contemplating what to do with him when I move. The insect, not Ray Dademo. I'm going to be taking this plant with me, most likely...do I attempt to take him with me? I don't think that would succeed, and besides, my new roommates might not be too excited if I show up with my "apartment bug". Mm.
Purely by coincidence, I kid you not, I had Blue the Elephant sitting out on my desk near my camera just now as I am writing this, and wouldn't you know that the bug was up for a photo shoot. I almost sprained something fumbling for my camera, but luck is preparation meets opportunity, right?
Hugs and kisses,
Me, Blue, and a bug

Lovely photos, and a curious tale. I would be inclined not to take the bug with you, but rather to leave it outdoors somewhere green and pleasant. It (or one of its brethren) may show up again anyway...
(In a subject in which I'm no where near as cool as I wish) I know folks far better than I am at meeting new animals- the animals all seem instinctively to know that these people are OK... Perhaps you have the same connection with bugs. The Bug Whisperer??? Your friend's relatives visit us too. He is a Stinkbug (sorry, I didn't make it up) You only learn why when you start squishing them, apparently...
