Whit?

This thing was on our bedroom floor.
Liz found it, and it was trying to fly.
About 25mmlong ( 1 inch in real money ).
I took it outside, and it didn't fly away.
It just sat there getting wet.
Looking at it closely, I noticed some parasitic mites crawling around it's neck.
And people ask me why I don't photograph bugs?

PS - DaveH - do you know what it is?
