Thanks Dan and Ava! I can see peanut-head...although when I spotted them I was thinking alien-head lol. My whole group passed them by...don't see how these guys where huge (~8-10 cm).

Amazing spot ann! Ava is right with the common name. I've been dying to see this bug and you saw 2 of them. So lucky!
