Large flying insect
Noted large flying insect, about 2" in size whirling about during sunrise lately. Looks like a locust but I have not observed the color (gray/brown/green) or size before.

Re: Large flying insect
Palo Verde Beetle? Long antennae? Sort of a clumsy flyer? They are out now. sounds like it was bigger than a June bug and I think they are done by now.
Anybody can make a hike harder. The real skill comes in making the hike easier.

Re: Large flying insect
I actually heard a Cicada this morning. I'm assuming that when you say "Locust" you are talking about the Grasshopper variety??? I know Cicadas have been out on various trails, but this is the first time I've heard one at the house....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"

Re: Large flying insect
Think they are two types of cicada's in Arizona, what I observed was not them.
