"This bug did a somersault before I could get a definite measurement! Compare to BG: http://bugguide.net/node/view/15343 It appears from the few BG images that O. mexicanus has shorter ""shoulder"" spines and darker antennae. Compare: http://bugguide.net/node/view/880273/bgpage"

This is the homestead of Ralph Mann. http://www.stoppingpoints.com/texas/sights.cgi?marker=Ralph+Mann+Homestead&cnty=tarrant I spent some time ""sweeping"" with the insect net and caught some of these cool bugs too."
