Crazy stuff you see in nature..

Never caught one in the wild but they are pretty popular in the fish/pet shops down here.

I caught a"normal color" one once. Kept him in a little turtle-style terrarium. He lived about 3 or 4 months. Little sucker loved Star-Kist tuna.

Sitting on the patio of a Hotel in North KC yesterday morning around 6:30am having a schmoke and a pancake. I had a fabulous view of downtown KC and noticed a few commercial jets either heading towards or leaving the airport about 10-15 miles further north. I then noticed an oblong cylindrical craft a little higher than the other commercial flights and traveling the same approx speed. But I couldn't see any wings like I could on the planes. As I watched it flew behind a small cloud that it should have taken 5-7 seconds to come out the other side, but it never emerged from the other side. I watched and stayed focused for several minutes, but it never emerged and I never saw it again. I have no idea what it was, but if it was an airplane it would not have disappeared behind a small cloud and not come out on the other side.

A while back the wife and I were sitting outside. She thought the light was too bright and attracting moths, so I threw a hat over the light and all was well. Recently I looked at the fixture thinking I should change the bulb.
I have no idea what creature left this on the brim of the hat. Any ideas?

Looks like katydid or bush cricket eggs that hatched.

First time I seen that in real life Jake - it was pretty damn cool but I didn't want it on me

No pic, but camping this weekend and a hummingbird just decided to hang out right by my daughter's head for a few seconds while we were eating breakfast - super cool

Also, people who think that liberal use of charcoal starter is how you light a campfire. I can probably get a pic of that if you guys want

Is there any other way to start a fire?

As long as you learn from your mistakes of using gasoline, lighter fluid is a fine substitute.

This guy at the campground yesterday


Notice the size of the logs to the right of him... that can't be his campfire, right? Right???

Holy shit, he tried to light it!


Fortunately, he failed and the forest is still here
