The bug you found is a locust, I use to play with them as a kid....
I cant remember the whole story, but thier babies live under ground for around 10 yrs. or so before they come out to breed themselves. Have to look around for info on them.

i dont know how it happened...but there is a mass confusion in america as to what a locust is. i locust is a grasshopper.
thats a locust^
lo·cust n.
Any of numerous grasshoppers of the family Acrididae, often migrating in immense swarms that devour vegetation and crops.
i dunno if my pics are that blurry...but it was deffinatley not a locust. lol. i hope you didnt play with bees as a child. grasshoppers are fun though! oh and the thing you described as the underground thing is a cicada(sp.). i used to be scared of those. those are he things that make all the buzzing in the trees.

Right you are, Mike. Those are some very interesting photos of that bee. I wish your camera could have produced more detail. I love looking at photos like that - things we don't usually see up close and in detail, but usually flying around outside instead - but I don't think I'd have the nerve to get close enough to take any myself. Thanks for sharing those.
