Um, ew?

But wicked cool. Seriously.

So, we're over at Liz and Paul's with Bob and Cindy and Court shouts "Babe, grab the camera! QUICK!!" I grab it and run towards the backyard where all of the guys and kids are clustered and see this:


Ick. But huge. Apparently called an Eastern Dobsonfly - and this is a male. It was just hanging out on the window screen (all four or so inches of him) - totally indifferent to us and our attention. I'm pretty sure that Trey even tossed a small stick at it and the thing never moved.

You just never know what crazy species you'll find in the wilds of Coppell, huh?!

Speaking of the wilds of Coppell...


'nuff said there, I think! :-)
