It was resting at our front door for about a day and a half, moving only a couple inches the entire time.
(And this should get the burned cobbler off the front page :grin: )

Eileen, I don't think I've ever seen one before. And I may not have noticed this one except for the fact that it was resting right at eye level next to our front door...
 
They are common out west -often seen at flying dusk. The larvae can build to HUGE numbers in the desert in the early spring. The warm paved roads become crawling them! Tim has collected them and handed them out to his students in his Entomology for non-science majors class to rear and write a journal about. Gets those whose whose biggest fear is touching a bug personally involved with a single insect.
VERY nice picture! Little critters are hard to photograph - I have never mastered macro photography.
