Mormon Cricket on Turkey Flats Trail

*



Mormon crickets aren't actually crickets at all. They are members of the katydid family. This one was spotted on Turkey Flats Trail, near Glade Park, Colorado, on August 18th, 2013.

Hummingbird Clearwing Moths on Turkey Flats

Here is a short (not-so-hot-quality) video of a clearwing moth"bumbling" around a flower.
