a few years ago on the coast of California. The oak mothes voraciously fed upon the leaves of our native coast live oak trees. A lot oak trees suffered from that. Luckily, the few oak trees in my backyard survived.
An insect similar to the modern milipede crawled around Scotland 425 milions years ago is believed to be the oldest creature to have ever lived on land. Bugs rule! :)
Your pictures are really cool! The green bug in picture 3 camouflaged so well that I didn't spot it at the first glance.
