    1. Yes! It's cousin Dilta is more of a super cool cabrio-driver shades dude:
      Dilta collage Some Dilta sp. found at the bottom of sandstone cliffs near Rouen, France.<br />
Dilta are fairly strongly hunchbacked and have very short antennae and tail appendages (cerci and epiproct). The eyes are somewhat shaped like very cool sunglasses (low, straight, wide) and the dark squarishly rounded ocelli are placed under the lower outside corners of the eyes.
