is that real?...

[Joey]

Yes, it is real, it was crawling around on the sidewalk. I stopped in my tracks. I put it on a leaf and brought it home and took some photos and then put it in the garden.

[Joey]

Oh, and the two front antenna go in and out. They were in and when I touched it, they came out.
