Monday night bug du jour

I hope this will not become a regular feature, but when I stumble across a new creature during my nightly stroll through my field of brugs, I just have to share it....and there never seems to be a shortage of creatures here in Florida.  I'm always amazed at how many sets of eyes I see when I walk around at night with a headlamp on. It's the ones I don't see that scare me!

Tonight I found this locust emerging from its old skin.  I'm not sure if they actually eat brugs so I left him be.  I must say they do have a beautiful set of wings!
