I don't have any firm ID's. Anyone got a reference on Canadian wildlife

Well the bottom two are cicada cases I think. The other three are, in order, a beetle, a butterfly and a dragonfly.

No, I don't have a reference for Canadian wildlife.

Or a clue. :)

A White admiral (American) apparently. Limenitis arthemis arthemis

While searching for an ID I Found this beautiful pictures of a Common Yellow throat
singing & dancing (yes I typed that correctly). Well worth a look IMHO (scroll down)

Can anyone do better than 'centipede'?

It looks like some segments have 2 pairs of legs, so I am not sure. A nice looking critter anyway

One from me. I took this shot of a grasshopper on the weekend, but I'm not very good at grasshoppers and can't make it fit anything. The wings are very long, and you can't see the head. Any ideas?
