Hi, all. I’m new here, and I was hoping someone could help me out. It’s not going to be easy…
I was at Bluff Lake Nature Center this morning and had a unique encounter. As I was walking down a side trail, an EXTREMELY loud bug starting making what I can only call a clicking sound. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that it scared the crap out of me. It was so loud that I was momentarily disoriented. Before I cold figure out what it was, it flew off. I barely got a look at it. I think (not even totally sure) that it had a katydid-type body. Since I didn’t see it on the ground, I don’t know what it’s primary coloration was, but in flight it appeared white, or maybe very light gray. I know this is not a lot to go on, so I don’t really expect an answer, but I’m really curious. I’m no bug expert (obviously), but I’ve lived in Colorado my entire life, and it’s not often that I come across something I’ve never seen (or heard) before. Thanks for any guesses! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
