Ahaa! A perfect thread to ask this question. Twenty minutes ago both our cats proudly walked into the house with a creature that was emitting a LOUD sound like a short circuiting wire! The visiting Strobels from Rochester (still half asleep) must have wondered what was blowing up. I watched in awe for ten minutes as they (the cats, not the Strobels) chased the largest bug I've ever seen around the dining room floor. Summoning up huge courage I interceded and crushed the sucker with my shoe (sorry Albert Schweitzer, but this thing was NOT something I wanted to co-habitate with)
I thought it was a June Bug. Do they have two very big wings? Anybody know what it was? If it's just the largest fly (about 2 1/2 inches long) on the planet, I'm moving to Alaska!
