Hi, Jennifer. We had this discussion a couple of weeks ago: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/148.... Unfortunately, this spotting is not suitable for your mission.
And thank you, TicThapanya, for your kind comment.

Maybe that's why it's been likened to a horror film monster--the Frankenstein of bugs.

Thanks, Keith; but handling them is not all that brave because they are relatively harmless. Of course they can pinch the holy bejeezus out of you with those over-sized pedipalps, but they are not venomous.

Thanks, gatorfellows. It is the only whip scorpion in the U.S. But interestingly it is not an insect but an arachnid.

Thanks, Jennifer. Luckily he was napping.

Thank you, Bernadette S. I love this moth's spots too (though I thought they looked more like those of a jaguar).

Thank you, gully.moy

Hello, Drew and welcome to Project Noah.

Thanks, everyone for the nice comments. I was a little confused by this lady at first, but read that in the wet season (which is almost upon us), the females may take on this darker hue.

Thanks, Leuba. That possibility hadn't occured to me, but now that you mention it...
