Help! I stand desperately on a precipice, and ask you, poet, what kind of bug is this? I am not an entomologis. It was on top of my laptop computer. Is it male or female or is it neuter? I can't afford an entomolotutor. It gazes at me through a compound eye, I see no wings. Does it walk or fly, strangely across the ground or sky? A praying mantis it is not. It has six legs.  That's quite a lot. his photo of him is all I caught. For this question, I apologize, I've no skill to entomologize. It's less than a half centimeter in size. I knew you'd know it - happy you could assist. This sort of bug is too easily dismissed. Thank you, poet entomologist.

Thanks Paula, the things is so small, and so zoomed in, that's why it looks so small!
