Evolution of Life
After Joan and I toured Sudwala Cave we wandered right next door to Dinosaur Park.
What is it Joan?
But we spent more time looking at the variety of amazing bugs.
Of course, the dinos aren’t real. And I’m really glad as this two ton Stegosaurus might have run us over in pursuit of vegetation…
Look out grasshopper
…where the bugs were hiding.
Joan is so amazing at finding the littlest of life. Maybe that’s because she crawls around in the plants. And even with a clumsy Uintatherium looking on.
Two Smilodon and a mastodon
But you have to be careful what you find along the trail.
Wonder if these folks were out hunting or looking for bugs too.
If you want to know the specific names of these bugs you’ll have to ask Joan. After all, she’s the bug lady.
We waded into the swamps for some captures.
Diplodocus
Watch out Joan! Good thing this is another vegetarian.
Crocodile
But this one isn’t, and it’s alive.
Ant laying eggs
Better get back to bugs.
Great pictures that bring back so many happy memories of holidays at Sudwala for me. Diane
No Neanderthals? I like bugs and humanoids but I also like our first cousins, the Neanderthals.
LOL
Beautiful blog and photos. Have a nice day Radka.
looks like an interesting place. You definitely found a lot of cool bugs to photograph. I'm glad you managed to evade the croc!
Wow a two for one deal… Dino's and Insects! Cool!
BTW Kevin says hi!
Have a good day! 🙂
LOL!! This must be a conspiracy!! Both you and Anne have posted pictures of me which you were not supposed to!! LOL!!
What a wonderful post Gaelyn. You did a great job on showing us the dinosaur park and the bugs we found there. As far as I can gather, that is a Monarch butterfly pupating.
We were without electricity yesterday afternoon and evening so I am a bit late getting around to the blogs.
I bet kids love this place, both for the bugs and the fake dinos. They have bugs I've never seen before.
Gaelyn sure wish we could send all that spam to the bugs! What fun you had here!
Dinosaurs! Love 'em. I'd have loved to have visited this place, too. Until then, I have enjoyed your photos!
Sudwala and the Dino park is another of the places I haven't been to. Trust Joan to take you to a dino park and go hunting the tiniest bugs inbetween the gigantic dino's.
This is so great! I'm enjoying your journey, Gaelyn. !!!
My son would have loved this park when he was a little boy–oh, wait, he would still love it. He's never got over his love of dinosaurs, and he's been a fan since before it was cool. I like the combination of the dinos and the bugs–thank God those bugs are a bit smaller.
Joan does get some great photos and so do you Gaelyn
