    Two Freaky Looking Bugs

    The first one of the red beetle was accidentally posted elsewhere but I wanted to include it in this one (sorry).

    The second shot shows two that I've never seen before. Very small - I at first thought it was dead vegetation until I looked real close. Cool, I thought.

    Yeah that second image is an odd looking insect. I can't say I have seen them before either.

    Re: Two Freaky Looking Bugs

    Thanks, guys for the ID. A moth? Never would have thought to be in that group. Anyway its name is forever drilled in my brain.

    Oh, btw those two also with my Swiss Army Knife setup.
