Giant Agave Bug


A cool looking bug eh? He's pretty big too. I'd say he is about two and a half inches from top to bottom. I found this site over here that helped me identify him. Now with a name like "Giant Agave Bug", it may be safe to assume he is a native species.

actually, I'm pretty sure this is a giant mesquite bug. Also a native, but you can tell that's the species based on the little "leaf" on the antennae. Giant agave bugs don't have that leaf. Cheers.
