Picture Time

OK, lame excuse for a post, I know, but I took this picture of an insect hanging outside my 17th floor office window, and check it out - you can see through the bug and make out the lines of the building across the street.



Is this some type of visual illusion, or did the flash on the camera/phone make the insect translucent? Bonus points if someone can identify the bug.

Wow, nice office. Mine has a view of Stink Patterson's cube. He has Indian food for lunch every day.

The bug looks like either a walking stick or a blue jay. It is clearly a free market bug.

Wow. Words cannot express....nevermind. Hey hand bell. You wan't some Chicken Tikka Masala next time your in T-Town?

I beleive the bug is a grasshopper and I think the translusunce hypothesis works.
