Some non-moths that were attracted to the lights at Jaffrey. The Giant Eastern Crane Fly (Pedicia albivitta) were quite common, both in the house and at the moth trap. Later, I saw and caught a fly with intricately patterned wings - it's a Scorpion Fly (Panorpa Sp.) - named for the curled abdomen, but completely harmless.

Out hiking in Carey park in Jaffrey, I came upon several of these brightly colored beetles at a mouse carcass. They were quite busy, often running out from under the mouse and taking little loops around and back to it - the carcass moved quite a lot when they went under, and I think the twigs on top had been recently placed there by the beetles.

I think they are Tomentose Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus tomentosus). Jaffrey, NH, 2016/08/28.

So the previous was an angle wing katydid of some form, this one is one of the bush katydids (Scudderia sp.), but I didn't get a photo that will narrow it down enough. Bug Guide tells me that it's important to see the "terminalia" for species identification here. 9/12/2015, Concord MA.

I'd biked all the way to Great Meadows NWR in Concord, after setting out along the Minuteman without a destination clearly in mind.
