I used to see those around our house every now and then. They are scary looking things; although, I don’t know if they bite or sting. I was told they are called Longhorn Beetles.
I love the bugs here – over the years I’ve taken a lot of photos. Last night there was this monster grasshopper attached to the exhaust pipe of the motorbike. I wheeled it in – he stayed all night and I wheeled him out in the morning. Wifey made me push him off before I started it. The other day – was hiking – heard a noise in the small tree above my head. A lizard jumped into another tree to grab a praying mantis. I bent the tree down and as I did – it got close to another tree -where the lizards saw ANOTHER praying mantis. Not afraid of me – he jumped into the other tree to grab the other mantis at the SAME TIME. He had two in his mouth… I held out a stick, he climbed on – and he posed for a movie. Will post it sometime soon. Maybe today. Bugs and wildlife are the best here! I’ve not seen one like you posted here…

Great photo, but yuck.
Wow…is that your new pet?
Wouldn’t like to have one like that in my house!

That’s a strange looking bug.
