I'm so jealous!! I've been looking for one of these all spring!

Difficult angle.
I can't get a handle on how long the "horn" is. Did it look like this?



BTW... your measurements don't seem to add up. A quarter inch would be more like 6 mm, not 1-1.5 mm.

Re: Platycotis Vittata
Thank you so much for all your help, I had no idea what he was, but hes cute and loves my wall outside near the Hibiscus Plants..

P.S Yeah my measurements are terrible, I am a metric Aussie and have no idea what inches are in size, so i guestimate badly a lot.. :)
