This ugly insect is new to me. Can anyone find out what it is? - Anisomorpha - Female
On the ground floor of my Friendswood house, located 220° SSW & 450 ft from the top of the cigar-shaped meander of Clear Creek, Galveston County, Texas, USA
June 13, 2020
Size: 2-1/2 inches,head to tail
I've seen a few of these alive, but I wanted to send a specimen to my 7-year-old granddaughter in England, so I chose this dead one. I collected a few others, mostly smaller, about 2 inches, head to tail. Alive, they are slow-moving. That's about my only observation.
