Not hunting related, but interesting

Post by Melvin Eades »

This isn't related to hunting but I thought it was interesting. I hope it's ok to post this. About 3 weeks ago my wife discovered a locust shedding it's shell. This sequence of pictures happened in about 30 minutes. I went back about 5 minutes after I took the last picture was taken and the locust was no where to be found. It's wings weren't developed enough to fly so I'm guessing a bird may have got it.

crazy,

You are correct, but around here everyone calls them locust.
