We have another from you, from off-shore, posted in March
This species is widespread in the Caribbean/Gulf region, and apparently can and does fly long distances, but it most likely hitched a ride or flew to a light on the boat when it was nearer to shore. Was the boat near the Texas short all along, or was it headed to Texas from somewhere else?

Anyway, this is a female Neoconocephalus triops.

i'm not sure this should be considered 'Texas' at all -- unless the vessel only visits Texan ports --this is clearly a special case, i don't know how to handle it properly...
also, state abbreviations are redundant (state added from another field) -- please refer to the filling instructions provided in the submission form.
