June Bug (below), couldn’t find a good link for it. It feeds on leaves and flowers. Larva lives underground, eating roots. Isn’t he cute? Just look at those antennae. He wants to go home with Chocolatechic, Elaine, and other Rotten Applies. Second picture is his backside.

This next one is of a small crab. He didn’t like us. He kept hiding behind tall grasses. Doesn’t he look rather angry? LOL There were so many of these, I am sure we stepped on a few. I have a video, that I’ll post later.

All of these were found on a nature walk last weekend. :)

    That hermit crab looks like he just got off the spaceship or something!!! Look at his/her little face! Too funny!

    You know, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a hermit crab face before. Thank you! Cute!

    Blessings!

    Lacy, I don’t know if those are called hermit crabs. Wait until you see the video; they are everywhere! LOL

    The bugs & spider…YUCK!

    The crab is cool! We went camping at Cape San Blas when we lived in Panama City and we went out on the beach for an evening stroll and those little crabs were EVERYWHERE! They “chased” K1 & my sister, it was hilarious…for us anyway, they weren’t so amused!

    I do not like june bugs! I especially dont like them getting in my shirt and stuck in my bra.

    I do not have a fascination with any thing that creeps and crawls. Yuck.

    I have a fiddler crab. If you ever go there again Catch one!! They are low maintenance pets who move around a lot. All you need is fresh-water and apples!! (they also like lettuce) :) I can’t wait to see the video. Where were you?? I want to go sometime!!

    Hi Lizzie. Thanks for stopping by. You can see the video on the next post.
