Bugs!

We went to New Mexico a few weeks ago. It had rained a lot and was really green and pretty. There were also a lot of cool bugs and critters, so we started taking pictures of them.





Some kind of water bug, with eggs on its back





A Giant Vinegaroon


This was full of 100's of some kind of worms or caterpillars



This last one we found at home. It is some kind of cocoon. Dave thinks it is a sphinx moth- he burried it in our yard to see if it will come out.

Love all the critter pictures! I bet your kids had the best time finding all of those bugs!

Yucky! I don't think I would have been too excited about some of those bugs (like the spider, scorpion, giant whatever).

I love all those creepy looking critters. Well, maybe not the scorpion. How fun for the kids!

Yuck! I agree with Melissa! The one with the eggs on it's back gave me the heebeejeebees!
