Calling All Entomologists...


Can anyone identify this? I found it on the hood of the work truck this morning, and I thought I'd leave it alone because it looked as though it might prey on mosquitoes. It clung to the hood all the way to the gas station, and flew off not much longer. Interesting creature. Enjoy.

I haven't seen 'em that big, ever. Seriously. They don't often get that big up north. Are they regular this size in New Orleans?

...and you should see the cockroaches.

Yes, I heard they are about as big and hideous as the politicians. One in the same, eh?

real hard to distinguish. usually you know it was a LA politician because you get sued for having stepped on them.

I see, I see. Makes perfect sense, though, a politician throwing themselves in the arena for the public good, and then the public asks about integrity and professionalism, well, why wouldn't a politico sue them (more sarcasm here).
