Here is the partner, they don't look like the same species at all.

Thanks Willie. I think the male of this species is winged and you have reminded me to do a but more research on this spotting.
Wonderful and interesting spotting. I had no idea there was such a creature. I used to go hunt fossils and trilobites in Ohio over Easter Vacations when I was a child. It reminds me of them quite a bit.
Thanks for your comments Leanne, Stian and Lisa. Thanks, thanks and thanks.
Oh wow! Fantastic Martin!
Fantastic picture Martin!
Awesome spotting!
