What IS that big scarey bug you have your sites on! Katie is VERY glad she never sees such things here in California!

Jasper what a gorgeous fellow you are!!!

So you have the spirit of adventure, eh? I love the picture of you with the bug but please keep it where you live. I'd hate to see a grasshopper that big here.

I hope you and your family are having a wonderfully fun day together.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our special Cat of the Day!!!

Oh!! I guess that is a grasshopper and not a spider at all. I turned up the magnification to get a close up eek! I recall in the 70's in science class we had some huge brown grasshoppers on petrie dishes about 3-4 inches long. We wondered where they originated from. Maybe... Well i didn't have to dissect it so maybe it was for another class coming in. Well i agree that the very largest bugs should stay in the far off lands where they are. Have a great summer susanswatlin518
