It's a Weird World

Check out these interesting creatures that Jeff caught on film (ok, SD card) while we were hiking in Prince William Forest Park last weekend. Don't they look like they belong in some Japanese cartoon?

Just FYI: The caterpillar is a spicebush swallowtail caterpillar. I haven't yet identified the other bug.

The beetle is an eyed elater. I highly recommend the site http://whatsthatbug.com if you want to identify any creepy crawlies.

Weird! I wouldn't like to see those in my house, but they are actually pretty cool looking!

Yes, I did enjoy my Pokemon.
