Giant headlight bugs.


Okay, that may not sound like a scientific name but it definitely describes this strange looking beetle-type animal. It’s about 3 inches long with a black spot on its head. The spot on the bug’s head lights up to help it navigate through the dark jungle at night. I guess this one just wanted to hang out on our porch until it got dark. I will add more “technical info” on this little fellow as soon as I do some research.
