Giant Flowers and the World's Smallest Peeping Tom

Echinocactus horizonthalonius
Echinocactus horizonthalonius aka, devil's head, blue barrel or eagle's claw cactus take your pick.  Easily the largest flower I have seen on a horizonthalonius at 6+ inches across.

Eastern Lubber Giant Grasshopper
My son found a giant grasshopper, 4 inches long not including the antenna!  I believe it to be an Eastern Lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera.
Hello, Can I come in?
