Size: abt 2.5" (body)
This insect has 8 body sections, is easily seen by it's yellowish and black color pattern on it's back. The most interesting thing about this little guy, is it's long long antennaes, they are longer than it's body from head to end, and the antennae's appear to have little black "nodules" spaced apart, from head to tip. The antenna's appear thick, NOT wispy, or heavier than most insects, and the antennae's appear brownish-red with the "nodules" being black. A hint of yellow is on the antennaes towards the smaller part going towards the tip. I've seen these before, but not often, around here.
