Olios giganteus
Was it found inside? Do you think it should be filed as an accidental adventive?

Outside on a shed.
It doesn't look like there's any geographical barrier that would prevent this species from expanding its northward distribution with the help of milder winters. I'd hold off on declaring this one an accidental adventive. I will let our colleagues at WSU know that we are on the lookout for more specimens.
