If all else fails, try dropping Don Herbison-Evans a line at this website...

He's very helpful in identifying species like this...

Looks like it comes from the same family of the cicada.


A CICADA THAT HAS BEEN BITTEN BY A WEREWOLF.

I think you are on to something kipper. Both are creatures of the night and both "howl" in different ways.

No idea.
But I don't think it's that cicada like, more like some over-weight moth.

Whatever it is it's ugly.

Surely we have an etymologist on this forum...somewhere.

Hahaha... Now that is very very funny... It's exactly the same species that I asked Don to identify - except mine was still a caterpillar at the time...
