Good point, Lyle. There are a few spiders in there.

I like the Devil's Flower Mantis. Don't think you want to mess with one of those. :hehe

This is the bug we saw while camping - the Cicada

not the Katydid.
The ones we watched were molting like this one in the image but there were 100's of them.Amazing to watch.
