Interesting Epicauta
This gray Epicauta appears to be rather distinctive--antennal segments 1 and 2 (or 2 and 3?) are very elongated, giving it almost a Longhorn apperance. Compare this image from Oklahoma:

Compare, also, this image labeled as Epicauta fabricii linked from the family page of Insects of Cedar Creek. The image shows two individuals, (male/female?), one with the odd antennae. A sexual dimorphism?
