nature is always awesome, isn't it? I have seen and photographed a lot of insect and plantation that comes from the other side of the world but ends up here in Bali, Indonesia.
I do hope that you won't find any mutated animal around, I can understand how concern you are since chemical can be quite dangerous.
This little one is not a mutation, although for a moment out of ignorance I thought so, because many animals have been affected by chemical waste, but this was not the case, I was more afraid to think that it was a small scorpion. Here in recent years I have been able to see some new species that have arrived, probably as a result of climate change as well.
