November 6, 2009
I saw this bug in November of 2009. It was on my front porch. The closest description I can give is that it looked like a grasshopper only with flat wings instead of vertical wings. The shield-like &#8220;armor&#8221; on its back raised up about 1/4 inch [...]

These bugs are everywhere in my butterfly garden! They rapidly consume the caterpillars, and the favorite food seems to be the Cloudless Sulphur cats. Getting these photos was difficult as they kept flying away, but I finally got a few&#8230;.

November 2, 2009
This is a bug I see about once a year, although it&#8217;s probably common. My parents&#8217; generation calls it a &#8220;wheelbarrow&#8221; bug because of the wheel-like appendage on it&#8217;s back. But, I&#8217;d like to know what it&#8217;s real name is. My aunt said it was odd to see one this late in [...]
