Hi Charles,
Beautiful images! Where did you find this beast? Was it currently active?

Frank,

Right here in Issaquah on that warm sunny day we had the end of last week. I looked on a sun-lit wall of a building in a wooded area. This occasionally yields results in a time of year when not much is to be found otherwise. (They are often seen on buildings in the late fall as they look for places to over-winter).

These are not really "pretty" bugs at all.... sort of mangy looking when you get close! :wink:
