THAT is definitely THE closest thing to what I saw. It definitely had the very large compound eyes and the short thick antennae as on this critter.
Unfortunately, as I said, I only saw it from two very bad angles, 1) from the underside, and 2) shriveled up in a horribly fried ball after I sprayed it with Raid.....which I feel very bad for doing right now.
But THAT is probably what I saw. It was so shocking as I've never even seen anything like that before, and here in the woods of PA we see some mighty strange things...no, not counting the people....
Thanks so much for your research, 'Erie!
And it's totally cool you're so into bugs. What didi you do your bug projects on, I'm curious? Strictly indentification or some other field?
You learn something every day!!!
