This picture was taken a couple of years ago. I found this bug crawling along the side of my storage shed. I've never had a chance to figure out what it was. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what it is.

Thanks,

Scott

Here's another view to give you a point of reference for how big it was.

Alaus lusciosus is known only from three southwestern states; this specimen likely is Alaus oculatus - see http://tinyurl.com/m3ht3a
