orthopteran from hell

My day was a lot better today. We went to the beach and it was a) completely empty, b) beautiful, and c) so fun. I'm pretty tired from the long day so i'll tell you all about it and post beachey photos tomorrow.

Today, you get a photo of a giant grasshopper type bug. I have never seen a bug this big before in real life - it is hard to tell in the photo, but this mutant was literally the size of my hand. It totally creeped me out because when i went to take the photo, it spazzed out and flew up and hit me right in the forehead. It had giant flappy wings and really spikey legs. blech! I ran away like a total girlie girl but then thought of all you bloggies and overcame my creepies to take the picture.




I want to go back to the beach.

    Hi Dayna,
    I'm a friend of your Mom and am enjoying your blog. You definitely didn't need that beastly encounter. Looks like you handled it like a pro.

    Linds - I immediately thought of you when I saw this. whatever you do, don't look at its spikey legs.
