insects/bugs thingy doing okay so far. been seeing weird buggsies but don't always have a camera around. The latest before the bug above was the tiny mouse i've been chasing around in the house but I caught the buggar!

Wish I would have taken pics of the crane flies and mosquitos in action a couple months ago. What a show they put on in the house!

Then came the flies and now the horse flies. HA, so exciting!

Just looked up the velvet ant above, it is a Dasymutilla Gloriosa (Thisledown Velvet Ant).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasymutilla_gloriosa

The Thistledown Velvet Ant is a member of the Dasymutilla genus. The female is flightless while the male retains its wings. It ranges from Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and south into Mexico.

Ewwww, is in the house!

Can anyone ID it? Looks so familiar though. It's less than an inch long.
