This sweet bird showed up & said hi today. I thought it might be a wren or summer tanager. Internet search says it's an Indigo Bunting! I'm so surprised. It's a pretty bird & so sweet with the loveliest voice. #birdoftheday #indigobunting #arkansas #birds

Carolina locust (maybe). I'm not sure.I'm trying to identify it. from a library book.It reminds me of an alien movie alien. It flys a little & when it does it looks a bit like a butterfly for a second or two. #insects #carolinalocust #insectoftheday

grasshopper shaped body with camo brownish colors and antennae and all over a beige brown. It's wings are kind of lacy looking, sort of.
