Hello Bugman!
I wish I had found your site before now as we have been on many a long internet search trying to identify some of the strange bugs that grow here in the Texas South Plains ( Lubbock to be exact)! J Anyways, I have a couple of pictures for you that I * think * are of a giant vinegaroon (notice truck bumper & shoe in pic for appox. Size) and a Black Witch Moth??

Hi Lois,
You are absolutely correct on both counts. Yours is the best Black Witch photo we have gotten, and your Vinegaroon, also called a Grampus, is great as well. Thank you so much for sending them in.

Thank you for your quick reply, excellent site, and for taking the time to answer all of these buggy questions :) . Now if you could just tell me how to keep the tarantulas out of my house, I’d have to send you some candy! I attached one other Black Witch photo that shows a little more detail. Thanks again,
Lois

Hi again Lois,
Sorry, we have no advice on the tarantulas. They wander in search of a mate, and must think your home is a likely location.
