Forbe's tree cricket (Oecanthus forbesi) at Hayden Prairie State Preserve IA 854A4143

It seemed that every prairie sunflower at Hayden Prairie had a Forbe's tree cricket on it today. They were busy feeding on the sunflower pollen. These beautiful tree crickets show a lot of black color on their pale green bodies. Found in grassland habitats, they have lovely songs in the late afternoon now.
