Thanks Chris
That's a descriptive article, just wish I knew the terms they use.

A. oculatus
Looks like it to me, although I never have reared one to be absolutely certain. They reportedly wolf down ceramb*ycid larvae by the bucketfull.

Trying to rear
I'll have to get out tomorrow and collect some larvae to feed it. I hope the rain slows down, so I won't get soaked.
