Looks like a toebiter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toebiter

They live all over the place, usually near fresh water.
Adults fly at night, like many aquatic insects, and are attracted to lights during the breeding season.
Lovely.



edit: hah jeff7 posted first (toebiter = giant waterbug)
I was also unaware they could fly, but not really surprised since it's an aquatic true-bug (aquatic insects usually disperse by flight; a lot of true-bugs can fly)

Also insect flight usually requires the wings to be warmed up to a certain temperature (apparently 15C/60F) (they may flap their wings to warm them up), thus adult insects usually don't fly in the winter . Like most animals/plants, the number of active and/or living insects is lower during winter .

temperature vs insect flight
http://www3.nd.edu/~ematlis/z.stuff/effect_temperature_insect_flight.pdf
apparently <11C (~50F) = almost no flight; except for nocturnals/moths; dependent on species
Thank you, cold winters.



I saw one in Louisiana once, in its preferred state: Dead.

How would a kettle make it easier to throw tea into the bay? Maybe a crane or a forklift...but a kettle? Just makes it harder.

Are you waiting until global warming boils the seas? Not sure I would like salty tea anyway.

Buy a kettle maybe?

It's a train station. Not everyone gets there at the last minute. Not everyone who arrives need to be at their destination right away. I don't see how you can make such sweeping generalizations and use that to determine something like this is fake.
And it's not everyday you see a piano playing itself that reacts to you. That alone would likely pique enough interest in a musician to bust out the trumpet.

Anyways, this is silly to argue over.

Duh, but enough people ARE on a schedule that these "perfect" visitors would be so few and far between that it would take forever to encounter enough to assemble the video. You'd have to have multiple players and camera operators all day every day working in shifts for many months and I'm sure that's a lot more than their sponsor, Amtrak, was willing to pay for such a little spot (not to mention the cost of a publicly-abused piano).

Perhaps it was due to editing, but if I was the horn guy I would not even think it was reacting to me instead of just playing automatically like many pianos have always done. It was not shown reacting at all until he already had his horn out.
