Yep
Stormy night and not much at my MV but Seldons. Was about to hang it up for the night, seeing nothing else but a scattering of Pangaeus bilineatus. Glad I took a second look, not mistaking it for a burrowing bug :) BTW I did collect the little bugger and will be sending to you, along with some Junes and Mays for July .
