This was my first spotting of this insect. Beaker (who I hike with) told me what it was:)

Cool, I've seen these before and wondered what they turned into. I was thinking some sort of moth.

Thank you, Bill! Yes, they are really cool! I was glad that you found one first, otherwise I would not have even known it was an insect:)
