There are some cousins of these critters causing Megan and I a certain degree of vexation at the present time (in our bedroom of all places!)

But where in North America did Megan find this pair of scouts?
............nothing other than a sense of decorum precludes my commenting on the image and the clue.
Absent that, my naturally base and acerbic side would provide a guess intended not to solve the puzzle but to needle the individual who asked it.
When in Rome...............
Foy
Big bugs!
No idea where the photo was shot tho
Both Foy and UKCraig have spent some time in this city.... and it's world renown, in part, for flesh-eating plants....
Mark
Flesh-eating PLANTS? And I've been there?
That means Wilmington, NC, where the Venus Flytrap holds tight to some of it's very limited range.
The crape myrtle and general greenery in the background support Wilmington.
If I could only see a soil sample.................
Foy
There are some turrets lurking in the mist.... either some museum or an really big house.
Given that NC has already been tossed out, how about Asheville/Biltmore Estate?
Actually, I am only guessing that Foy has been there... (but I think he has).
Hint #2 the world HQ for a very popular brown liquid can also be found in this city....
(we may go dark for few minutes -- something's nasty is afoot here)
Atlanta someplace?
Now where in Atlanta?

I'm not positive myself what those turrets are from -- but they ARE cool!Quote:

Standing by in abject curiosity.....
Foy
This location is a must-visit -- if you're hobby includes flesh-eating plants....
Mark
I thought these photos were from the grounds of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens known around the globe for their collection of flesh eating plants.... (But my source, Megan, left out that little detail in her photo log)!
I know exactly where this one was taken from.... Do you?

See Rock City?
I guess that was too easy, eh?
How goesth the scanning of the slides?
Mark
This is going to be too easy for anyone whose seen some of my photography.... But Dan did a better capture than I did at this spot....

Yeah, Star Trek was filmed in a nearby canyon.... But WHERE in Valley of Fire was this photo taken?
Mark
Could this be Fire Canyon?
Yeah, here's the map of Nevada's first state park.
Mark
There are two extremely strong visual clues in this photo...

(Photo credit would give it away... (deferred for now)
Where is this? What are those things?
Mark
This is a museum exhibit and it's in southern Nevada....
Mark
There's a photo on the back wall that directly related to the name of this place...
Mark
Atomic Testing Museum in LV.
