Insect

Do fireflies exist in Colorado?

When it comes to big bugs, everyone seems to be talking about murder hornets – and fortunately, we won't likely be seeing those here in northern Colorado, but there is another huge insect in our area that you could come across.

Colorado adopted its official state insect on April 17, 1996. It can be found on both sides of the Continental Divide at elevations of 6,500 to 7,500 feet.

We definitely have many interesting insects and animals throughout the state of Colorado. However, this insect we found this morning at the radio station is one that we have never seen before. Any ideas on what it is?
