Pretty Bugs


These mountains contain some weird bugs along with some familiar ones.  The top picture has a red and black striped beetle kind of bug.  It has these weird little wings up by his head.  I'm still waiting to hear from a friend what kind of bug it is.  The other bug which is bright green is a praying mantis.  The ones I'm used to seeing are kind of brown.    This year there are a few mosquitoes around with some biting flies.  Many more bugs this year than last.

We are getting spoiled being here close to farms that sell farm fresh eggs.  The yolks are a very rich yellow color and taste amazing.  The little store by us sells fabulous bacon and steak.  So we treat our selves once in awhile to the meat.   The owner of the park has a ranch and raises lots of vegetables as well as cattle.   He even gave us a small elk roast from an elk that the owners wife shot last fall.  It was very tasty cooked on the grill.
