Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 This is a bug Wickedcarpenter and I found at camp when we were sitting at the table outside tying flies one night. It was rainging hard and this bug most likely got flooded out of the ground since I think he looks like a burrower. It was about 2.5 inches long, with hard little "fingers" for digging on his front legs.....and was pretty damn mean looking if I do say so myself Taxon or anyone else got a clue as to what kind'a mutant baldwin bug this thing is?

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I was wondering why he hadnet posted that yet, I figured he would of put it under entomology, no wonder I couldnt find it when I looked, thanks Tim. Now I know why Will knew what it was...and here I though Willy actually knew lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
