Check out this fantastic moth! It was along a very large rock wall, situated underneath this web structure. Very interesting and exciting to see.

While regrettably the images of this observation are not the greatestI found this grasshopper’s unique, orange coloring to be too interesting not to post here. Does anyone know why it has such a strong orange coloration?

I was surprised that at this time of year I saw what looked like a mosquito. Turns out it may be some form of midge.

These red and black ants were all over this piece of wood! They were moving so fast it was tough to take pictures of them, but I got a couple that could be good enough for an ID.

This planthopper appeared to be playing dead while I was trying to photograph it! I have never known about this kind of behavior, which I found really interesting! The last photo is after the first three and shows it was in fact alive, and therefore it seems to have been playing dead. Very interesting. Seen along the Skunk Canyon Trail.
