This is one of the links I found. http://bugguide.net/node/view/135671/bgimage It is neither Wikipedia nor EOL :) I hope its what you were looking for!

Thanks. Where were you able to find that? I couldn't find a page for that species on either wikipedia or Encyclopedia of Life.

His tail doesn't look long enough. He might have been attacked by a bird or something... Was he walking strangely?
