The only way to kill these giant grasshoppers?

You gotta hit 'em with a 2x4, says experts!

This thing was outside of my apartment complex, stuck inside the fire extinguisher case.  Talk about frightening!  I didn't kill it, but I definitely had my mace handy if he decided to freak out and jump at me!

A Bug's Life!

I think one of my new favorite artists is Catherine Chalmers.  I have always been fascinated by insects and art, so when the two combine, I am instantly hooked.  I felt a similiar feeling when I met Maria-Fernanda Cardoso a couple years ago...  Anyway, check out Chalmer's website here and all the cool pieces she has designed utilizing insects. 

The new MOSI exhibit about insects inspired this search (thanks goes to my boss, Becky).  Check out what's happening there, here.  Anyone want to go with me...?
