I can't believe I took so long to post a part 2! There are so many bugs to share :)
I stumbled upon this bug back in late May climbing through a brush pile near the orchard. It was about 2" long (Big!) and had a white splatter looking design on its back along with two vivid, outlined spots over what would be a person's shoulder blades.
I prepared this collage for your enjoyment :) If anyone knows what type of bug this is, let me know! It was sure fun to look at.
