I turn on a light each night to attract insects for toads (which seems a little odd now that I think about it). The other night I went outside to look at the moon and planets, and I noticed that I had forgotten to turn on the light. On my way back to the house, there were several toads waiting in their usual spot, looking at me wondering what happened to their light.

We came across another red-eyed devil (type of katydid) over the weekend. They are more unique since they are quite large, and very aggressive. When provoked, they rear back in defensive stand and will bite if possible. The bite does not hurt too bad since they don’t inject any type of poison, but can break the skin. Here are photos of one we found before.
