Trail Pix from Kurt’s hike

Insect of the day: no idea what this is; don’t believe I’ve ever seen one before. This one was on a maple sapling along the #appalachiantrail in SW Virginia between Route 611 and Route 608. Any ideas? It’s a little bigger than a common ladybug. #insects #identification #entomology #at2015

Trail Pix from Kurt’s hike

TWOFER! Sometimes the Appalachian Trail looks like this, AND Bridges of the Appalachian Trail: I crossed over Interstate 77 today in southwest Virginia on this bridge. The Trail runs along the shoulder of a road for a mile or two at this point before returning to the woods. #appalachiantrail #bridges #Virginia #at2015
