weird bug
Hi I took a picture of this strange bug in southern Peru (near Machu Picchu). My professor says it is a rove beetle, but I think it moved in an "inch worm" fashion, so I am not convinced. What do you think?

Hi Heather,
We would love to know what the locals in Peru call the Hellgrammite, the larva of a Dobsonfly.
