YIKES! It seemed to be a good subject for a B & W until I realized it had color. I have no idea where it went after I took these...fear of the unknown in my own backyard!
OH NO... gail says they POP but who would touch one to find out... yikes... i came to see if your wrote a post about me since FEAR is my middle name and my second middle name is Paranoia
Great insect! I think its a sort of Rove Beetle - the pop that other people mention is caused by a 'peg' that fits into a 'hole' between two parts of the body, when the peg pops out it make the beetle flick away! Cunning!
Isn't he an ugly bug. I took a picture in my backyard a little while ago. I believe it was two lizards mating. Either that or the one was killing the other. I like to think it was the first.
