Aliens In My Home
March 08, 2003
Can anyone identify this bug? There are also similar things that have shown up around the house that are brown and bigger. I don't know what they are either. We call him Earl.
These orange creatures are magnificent. Final image for showing scale, those are the tines of a regular fork. Click on the thumbnails for bigger pics.
If you know what it is, let me know. If you have a good name for this kin of Earl, let me know about that too.

It occurs to me that Ellen may also have some ideas as to identification of Earl.
Unfortunately, I don't think I knew any entomologists back when there was a Department of Zoology at IU; some herpetologists and evolutionary paleobotanists, sure....
Now they're all geneticists, I expect. Ho Hum.
