I'm keeping a camera on me at work, and getting good shots of whatever wildlife I see on the park. Figured I'd start a thread to share them with you guys. Here are some creepy crawlies to start out with :D

A katydid with molt and then on my hard hat:

Ok, so one more thing... I did a little search on-line about your moss bug, and it seems to be a lacewing larva. They are known to cover there bodies with lichen, moss, and even other dead insects to camouflage itself. Pretty neat actually!! Nice find ;)
 
This caterpillar was as big as my index finger. not sure what it will become, my guess is luna moth.
