About Teddy Kesting-Handly
Expertise
I can answer almost any question pertaining to Butterflies, Moths, Fireflies, dragonflies, scorpions, honeybees, wasps, and bumblebees. I specialize in Butterflies, Moths, and Scorpions and I will be able to tell you how to care for it, identifying it, keeping it healthy, and diagnose diseases or fungi infection of any sort. I am very good with treating bites and stings, ask if you have any questions regarding that. PLEASE, NO QUESTIONS ABOUT MITES/LICE/CLOTHES BUGS/OR ANYTHING TOO SMALL TO SEE AS I WON'T BE ABLE AND WON'T ANSWER YOU.
If you have an emergency (someone got bit and you don't know if it's dangerous) email: butterfly_identification@hotmail.com and I should get back to you within the hour.
Experience
I work at the Museum of Science in Boston Mass. as a Butterfly Garden volunteer. I have studied and raised butterflies and moths since 2003. I have a pet scorpion and a large assortment of butterflies and have a fair amount of information on all. I have successfully bred many species of butterflies and moths and can identify most on the spot. I have experience in treating fungal infections and disease in many insects.

Subject: Dino bugs
Question
I live in Fruita Co, and there is a long dragonfly/dinobug. It has a hard greenish brown shell. And it has big giant pinchers like an earwig. It is aggressive and it does bite. We only ever see it at night. it reminds me of a dinosaur.What kind of a bug is this?
Answer
James,
It sounds to me like it is a praying mantis of some sort. A picture could be really helpful. Can it fly? Do you see it near lights? It could be either a Ground Mantis, or it could be a Chinese Mantis. I personally am leaning towards the Ground Mantis but a picture would be great.
Hope that helped a little,
Teddy
