Autumn was well on its way, but there were still leaves on the black locust trees, as the rising sun struggled to break through a heavy cloud layer.

Florida at this time of year is not the place to be if you are afraid of bugs, the place was crawling with them. Temperatures in the nineties & humidity through the roof, they love it. Drove down the coast road one evening for about thirty miles, it was like a snow storm, but not one hit the car
Milkweed Locust/Phymateus viridipes
One can only see the colours when they fly, so managed to capture one and told him to open up the wings...and he did.. I should have lifted the camera a bit to get the tip of the wing as well and focus could have been better, but operating the camera with one hand and other arm stretched out makes things a bit awkward, but well, that's after talk....it flew off happily after the shoot...

The forest of trees surrounding the IAIS mainline "up the hill" to Locust Street in Davenport are covered in frost as the daily BICB heads west.

Anacridium aegyptium
The desert locust shows periodic changes in its body form and can change in response to environmental conditions, over several generations, from a solitary, shorter-winged, highly fecund, non-migratory form to a gregarious, long-winged, and migratory phase in which they may travel long distances into new areas. In some years, they may thus form locust plagues, invading new areas, where they may consume all vegetation including crops, and at other times, they may live unnoticed in small numbers.

In Oklahoma it is a jar fly, or locust, and some Cicada. the larva comes up out of the ground, clings to the branch and comes forth as a full developed wing, noisy insect,
My dream was this:
Across the sky
A slate-grey cloud
That filled the eye
A slate-grey cloud
Comes through the dust
Locust
Could not believe that this locust came out in November, wow that is late for them but it came out in the past three days. Larva to Locust.
This one was a little camera-shy and kept shimmying round to the other side of this bamboo so I couldn't see it; solution: back off and zoom in. Shallow-fried locust used to be a popular dish in Thailand, and they are actually quite tasty!
