User's notes
I was fascinated with this insect, it was methodically cleaning itself, just the top half, using the first one or two rows of arms/feet. It ran over its antennae, head/mouth pieces and used its arms/legs backwards to rub its upper back. I did not see it cleaning its wings or lower body but may have done that earlier. I managed to get a video of it cleaning itself so methodically which is great to watch.
