Ja ja ja ja ja
In Spain, the same word, its meaning varies depending on the context of the situation, as in this case the word " cornudo"
Cornudo = Which has horns, which has an antler
Cornudo = Man or woman married with an adulterous husband/wife

Re: strange insect
Pretty - and harmless. The photo of the baby mantises as nice too. It's worth getting to know the various insects in the garden.
Although today my hand is swollen thanks to being stung by a wasp while pottering about.
