We were walking along Fort Street and a ton of these guys came crawling out from the Military Recruitment offices near Blanshard. In all the years I have lived in Victoria, I have never – ever – seen a bug that looks like this. Anyone know what this is?
August 18, 2009 Update: Jennifer has it in the comments, and Happy Designs has taken an excellent photo of it over here.
An exciter which turned out to be a borer. (technically)
Cool shot, and creepy looking bugger.
banded alder borer!! (C’mon, Davin – Google!)
it’s a Neato Mosquito!
Holy crappity WOW!
Ridiculous awesome!
Also looks like a Longicorn (longhorn), Rosalia styles, but Jennifer’s answer is better. I just wanted to contribute. =)
