Tanya, that's awesome! It's a bit too cold and snowy here for insects. I can't wait until it begins to warm up! I look forward to seeing more of your spottings. :D
Thank you ForestDragon. He was fun to photograph. It's been a while since i've taken any photos on a hike. Your ID help has inspired me to get out there again. :)
Those bulky hind legs helped me find the ID. I figured it had to be something from the Leaf-footed Bug group with legs like those.
