Moved, A.bolliana female...
In TX, and at that size, has to be A.bolliana.

Moved from Arenivaga.

This...
looks good for Arenivaga, since it was ID'd as a Polyphagid. If it's not I can always move it back out of this page, I guess.

The antennae
look like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. "They went that-a-way guys!" Cool.

Not Isopod
I believe this is a cockroach of the family Polyphagidae.

Thanks
Stephen. I did try looking at cockroaches first, but...oops - have a long way to go learning inverts.
