Super!
Thank you so much for submitting this image! Did you also post to Whatsthatbug.com? I ask because it took forever for us to figure out what these were that are so abundant this year:-) Great addition to bugguide, thank you.

I didn't post to whatsthatbug.com...
but I received some emails from local contacts (Bill Carr and Mike Quinn) who described quite an ento-phenomenon. So, I checked it out and got this and numerous other photos and recordings. Also, check out http://texasento.net/robustus.htm
