This has to be one of the strangest insects I have ever seen. H. R. Giger
would be ecstatic.

Nice pix.

On Googling: "Otiocerus" means "ridiculously superfluous"
What a great name!

I note your 5D with 65mm lens. Extension rings, bellows, or additional
optics?

MP-E 65mm in the 2X to 4X range. Nothing "extra" :-)

Cool hopper. Hadn't noticed the feeding tube until you pointed
it out.

I noticed your post at bugguide.net - do you use Firefox or IE7?
I wrote a search plugin for that site that you may or may not be
interested in. I use it a lot:

I thought it was just a leg until I started counting, but it makes more
sense when I couldn't find the feeding tube on his face.

I'm still confused and use both :-)

Spiffy! I didn't think that it (bugguide) would be that useful to someone
out side of North America?
