Brown Prionid ~ Orthosoma brunneum

This Brown Prionid is a male.  The almost combed antennae are an indicator of the gender.  The toothed thorax is a species indicator.  The Brown Prionid was once a food item.  Probably similar to shrimp or lobster.  The Brown Prionid is about 1.5 inches long.  They can make a pretty loud thump on a window.  This is a boring beetle.  They eat dead wood, so they are just making compost.  They are just a spectacularly large surprise.
