Is it a butterfly?


You know those black and white butterflies that fly around with a rattling sound, and disappear when they land? I was able to get this shot of one this morning alongside the trail. When I checked it out after I got home, I discovered that it is a kind of grasshopper called a Carolina Locust. Fortunately, it is not one of the species that does severe crop damage.
