also known locally as the cousin bug
because if you rub it’s back, it makes the sound “cousin cousin”
these large dr. seuss-looking bugs live only in the vineyards feasting on grapes
they are otherwise perfectly harmless
found in the crotch of a grape vine pruned en gobelet
the nest uses all local materials including the bark of carignan grape vines and the stems left behind by fallen grapes
