Bug watch-ing! Post photos of your Rolex with weird bugs!

Whilst drinking in 'tropical' France, this little fella took a keen interest in my watch and my drink. I don't blame him because the watch is a beauty and the drink tasted good.

I think I have caught the 'green' bug!

Another shot of an interesting bug in France.

If you're interested OP (I'm sure you're not!) your first bug (technically not a bug, which is a specific family of insects) is a Praying Mantis. It lies completely still mimicking plants, with its forelegs held in the position shown in your second pic - looking like it's praying - until an insect comes along then it grabs the poor unfortunate and devours it. I think the females are also known to eat the males after sexy time.

Anyway, nice watch!

Hopefully it catches on and we build a collection of bizarre photos of watches with a variety of weird and wonderful insects.

Not sure if this counts

Somehow I think the OP meant "bug with a watch"?
