Awesome! What a cool spotting!
Thanks shekaina!
a good disguise , looks like a stone, so no predator will care to check.
I thought the same at first look Shekainahdalaban but now i´m not very sure!!
I thought it was a spider.
Thanks Cindy and Nopayahnah!
Wow, that's so cool!
Another interesting spotting!
Thanks oxyjack!! I appreciate the time you are taking to ID this guy.
We probably have this species in our collection at UC Berkeley. One of our former entomologists was an expert on long-horned beetles from Mexico. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago, and I don't know this family well enough to narrow it down further. I'll let you know if I can find out any more about what species it might be.
Thanks oxyjack!
About 1 cm
Cool beetle Gerardo! The best ID I can give here is that it's a long-horned beetle, Family Cerambycidae. How big was it?
Gracias Sergio estoy anonadado espere mucho tiempo y simplemente no se movio.
Fantastico, Gerardo, nunca he visto algo así!
