So I am really glad I am conditioned NOT to swat anything on me that feels like a fruitfly...I was on the computer and felt a tickle on my eyebrow. I took off my glasses and there was an L1 nymph on them,lol. It must have been on my head for a while today cause it has been an hour or so since I was in the bug room. I put him away safe and sound :)

 
Hahahahaha Thats funny Sally, He's lucky youre predisposed to looking before swatting haha
