Moved
Don Thomas says: "I wanted to confirm the identification. I keyed the bug out with Sailer & Barbers key and it is Amaurochrous brevitylus.

hmmm... you're probably right, but can't be sure
nice set... will show around

Moved from Turtle Bugs.

 
Don Thomas says, "Amaurochrous, I have not seen this sp. before"
ha!

 
To whom
do I send it? (And yes they can keep it.)

 
stay put.

 
It's 8 below outside.
So I will stay put.
(My attempt at humor.)

 
it's 8 above here...
...on that confusing Fahrenheit scale [my 15-y.o. who was born in this country still prefers Celsius] --but i'd rather not venture outside, either
