Today's miracle is more car-related for me. I have seen my engine in tiny little pieces... Not so sure that it will ever start again! And I am not going to give the cockroaches and mosquitoes in my room the honor of being photographed! But I will bring nature related wonders four you to ID soon enough :D

Thank you for solving a mystery! I have very low expectations on getting ID on the longhorns I find. I think you did a small miracle Bayucca!

Spectacular. I often wonder what the view is like with those wrap-around eyes and antennae coming from the middle... must be weird... I'll get some chop-sticks and try it.
