When I was little her in MI, we had them everywhere. Now I'm lucky to see one a year. Very cool bugs. They're really docile. You can pick them up. I think the disappeared when the prarie type fields around here went away...

Those things are all over the place in my home town, though they're generally a bit more green in color. I used to catch'em all the time when i was a kid. I'm personally more weirded out by Secadas and Locausts, though _________________ "Sometimes a Tattoo is Just a Tattoo. Not everyone wants some giant piece of art.

We just a few of them on the back porch the other day. One of them was about 4 inches long. My son was trying to get my wife to crush it. _________________ "The creation of mankind was the act of an egomaniac, plain and simple"
