Your letter to the bugman: Most likely not native to Sweden, what is it?
How you want your letter signed: Curious
Dear Curious,
Please provide us with additional information. Did you take this image? Are there any other angles? Where (habitat) in Sweden was it found? Did it move?
Ed Note: This is not the first time we have received an image of a rubber or plastic creature that the submitter insisted was alive, and most are spiders like this rubber Tarantula, or this plastic Spider, and fishing lures like this blue worm often fool people into believing they have seen an unusual creature.
Not a bug expert, but that looks like either a fishing lure or a rubber toy.
Our thoughts exactly, however, we wanted the curious submitter to respond to our questions as there was so little information provided.
