What the heck is this bug?
I was up on the Esperero trail in the Catalinas today and I came across this bug crawling really slowly across the snow on the trail. It was between 1.5 and 2 inches long, and it looked like a giant ant or a giant termite, or maybe like a wingless wasp. It's abdomen had yellow and black stripes.

Re: What the heck is this bug?
Can't tell for sure because you're not quite close enough, but looks and sounds like a Jerusalem Cricket.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"
