Non-Moths on Moth Night 2!

A Stag Beetle, flew noisily into our lighted moth area in a very haphazard, zig-zaggy flight pattern. It initially landed on the ground. You can see by the ruler that it was close to 6 cm in length!

I believe it is a Reddish-brown Stag Beetle. The "Stag" portion of the name may be attributed to its resemblance to a deer's antlers.

A Leaf Hopper landed on it's back and hitched a ride for several seconds.

Once the Stag Beetle crawled to the top of the sheet, I walked to the other side to get this angle!

A member of the "True Weevil" family with its very long snout.

This Masked Hunter was not found on moth night but I thought it was interesting. Immature Masked Hunters cover their bodies with debris and look like walking piles of dust and fluff. Without the dust and lint, they are light brown in colour. If handled carelessly, they may bite which can feel like a bee sting followed by numbness and swelling - definitely something to stay clear of!
