On a recent hike in Idaho, the trail I was on had several of these large cricket like bugs on it. Not sure if they are actually crickets, but I’m glad they’re not bigger than the inch and a half this one was.

Creepy!
I’d love to know where in Idaho you were (I used to fight fires in the Nez Perce National Forest).

These were on a side road off of Baker Creek Road north of Ketchum.

It looks like a cricket David. Kinda creepy that he’s smiling though 😁 Great shot.

Reminds of those bugs in the post atomic age horror movies. By the way, I must be getting in the retirement groove, I forgot that Friday follows Thursday and will have to set a reminder to get my posts up on time.

LOL 😂 Let me know if it’s better for you to post on Friday afternoon and I’ll ask Andre to post in the morning. It’s up to you. I know you’ve been traveling a lot.

Friday morning is fine, will just set a reminder and get them done.
