Not hunting related, but interesting

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.

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

Bizarre pics, good ones tho.

There is just about no more annoying sound that what those things make.
