Insects on the trail

 On an evening walk yesterday I watched for insects on the path.  I noticed a couple of different kinds of caterpillars and a grasshopper.  It is amazing how many insects are around us if we take time to notice.

Looking up  information on insects I discovered at any given time it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.  Wow, that's a lot of bugs!
