Mystery bug
by Steve, September 1st, 2008
After a delightful trip exploring the amphibious and bug life in Iowa, from the Devonian to the present, we came home to discover a big bug in our own back yard.
And I was just saying we don’t have nearly the richness of bug life in Oregon.
Pretty, pretty big. Beetle-like wing covers, fuzzy as a tarantula, with horns and bat wings.
A bunch of its body is missing, eaten by ants?
What the?!?? ID anybody?
