Summer Visitors

This is a Lubber Grasshopper. No natural enemy, not even birds because they're poisonous. Yup, it's as big as you're thinkin'...about 4 inches long.
This is a Banana Spider, who made a beautiful web in the corner of the yard. Mike almost backed into it today mowing the grass. And yes, it's huge...about the same as Mr. Lubber above.

Now don't all you Californians rush to come visit, ya hear.
