Cool Bug

[Lawdwaz]

This little guy was up under my porch on the cedar.  He's probably planning on chewing a few holes in it........

That is pretty cool looking. Any idea what it is?

Sounds dangerous.

Looks like an East Siberian Crotch Cricket to me......

All of a sudden I have an itch........

Not that I've ever had 'em of course.....<<ahem>>....Dum de dum....

I've never seen a bug that would go after cedar. Not saying they won't, just that I've never experienced it.  I have, however, watched woodpeckers take the tops off of cedar trees in minutes. They never seem to find bugs, though. I think they do it just for fun.

I have a 3/8-1/2 hole in my cedar wrapped beam on my new over hang.  The dirty SOB carpenter bee drilled the hole not three weeks after I finished the Sikkens treatment..........2012taco (member here) made me a couple traps that are supposed to work on them.  We'll see.........

Oh yea, I waited a few days then sprayed the hole with some good stuff then stuffed a little steel wool in to discourage anymore that think there's anything good inside.
