Bugs!

Once again, we have found insects outside the visitor center in this national park!

First, we have a katydid - relative of grasshoppers and cicadas, and just as noisy. They are responsible for the bulk of the night noises at this time of year. When not trying to hide on a white wall, they blend in quite well with their disguise of "I'm a leaf!" And their antennae are considerably longer than their body!


And then we have yet another Fuzzy Moth.


I never realized before this summer just how fluffy a moth could be.
