    I snapped it with my phone, so don't mind the quality. I took it at a Sunoco, so if anyone recognizes the sign they can get a rough sizing.

    What is it?!

    Dude, either your phone has a zoom feature or you've got elephantitis of the cahones - there's no way I'd get that close to that thing.

    That last sentence is choice knowledge right there - good to know. How'd you know what it was just by looking at it...?

    Saw a bigger June bug the other day. The thing was at least a size of a small bat.

    If anyone has ever seen a walking stick, they can get 6-7" long. Creepy.
