6-10-13 Strange bug - Anchorage, Alaska, USA
OBSERVATION: My sister observed the insect on the porch at her house. It was dead. Numerous internet searches failed to reveal what type of bug it might be and it was the first time we've ever seen one that looked like this. We've never seen them before and want to make sure they aren't dangerous. Desirae Roehl
CONSULT: This observation has been forwarded on to the UAF Cooperative Extension for their assistance in species identification.
