A pair of Steel-blue Cricket Hunter Wasps circled my yard for several days. The only place they would stop was on the orange flowers of the Butterfly Weed.
They strongly resemble Blue Mud Dauber Wasps, which have a longer pedicel (the "stalk" that connects their thorax to their abdomen).
Butterfly Weed is a native plant species, and my favorite Michigan wildflower. Ironically, I have never seen a butterfly land on the flowers, although it does attract a variety of wasps and hornets.
I spotted this cricket, hiding in plant. It's missing one of his legs, but that didn't seem to bother him in keeping the balance and to jump away after a little while.
The garden had baby crickets all over it . The Ranunculus has a few chew spots where the cricket snacked on it.
Have a wonderful day.
As has happened several times in the past few summers, I discovered a grasshopper on a houseplant, which I carefully brought onto the terrace and placed on the echinacea. I put a few drops of water on the flower and the little guy drank and later nibbled on one of the flower petals.
Un grand merci à toutes et tous pour vos visites, favoris et commentaires.

You want to shoot a tiny little flower .. Suddenly, you find a smaller insect living there. These insects are too small for you to see unless you really take a closer look.

A white fence encircling the cricket oval, that at first sight looked like a picket fence. On closer inspection, the fence turned out to be tubular aluminium.
The horizontal lines in the background is a corrugated iron walls of a transportable building with an alternate view of the oval, likely for sporting commentators.

Nice big cricket getting fat on the beans ! Took him off the beans and left him on the sweet potatoes.

The genus name, Lanius , is derived from the Latin word for " butcher ", and some shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits.
The Red-backed Shrike bird (Lanius collurio) is a member of the shrike family Laniidae. The general colour of the males upper parts is reddish. It has a grey head and a typical shrike black stripe through the eye. Underparts are tinged pink and the tail has a black and white pattern similar to that of a wheatear. In the female and young Red-backed Shrikes, the upperparts are brown and vermiculated (wavy lines or markings). Underparts are buff and also vermiculated.
This 16 – 18 centimetres long migratory passerine eats large insects, small birds, voles and lizards. Like other shrikes the Red-backed Shrike hunts from prominent perches and impales corpses on thorns or barbed wire as a ‘larder’.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in most of Europe and western Asia and winters in tropical Africa.
The Red-backed Shrikes range is decreasing and it is now probably extinct in Great Britain as a breeding bird, although it is frequent on migration.
The Red-backed Shrike is named as a protected bird in Britain under a Biodiversity Action Plan. The Red-backed Shrikes’ decline is due to overuse of pesticides and scrub clearance due to human overpopulation.
The Red-backed Shrike breeds in open cultivated country with hawthorn and dog rose.

The great green bush-cricket (Tettigonia viridissima) is a large species of bush-cricket belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae. This species can be encountered in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in the Near East, and in North Africa, especially in meadows, grasslands, prairies and occasionally in gardens at an elevation up to 1,800 metres above sea level. The adult males grow up to 28–36 millimetres long, while females reach 32–42 millimetres. The morphology of both sexes is very similar, but the female has an egg-laying organ (ovipositor) which reaches the end of the elytra and is slightly curved downward. The green bush-cricket is carnivorous and arboreal. Its diet is mostly composed of flies, caterpillars and larvae. They can fly, but they tend to avoid flying where possible. Most often they move "on foot" or jumps. Adults occur from July to October.

Zielony pasikonik na ręku u mojej córci, pstryknięty obok rzeki Buny, w Bośni i Hercegowinie :)
Pasikonik zielony (Tettigonia viridissima) – gatunek owada prostoskrzydłego z rodziny pasikonikowatych (Tettigoniidae). Występuje w Europie, Azji i północnej Afryce. Szczególnie pospolity w Europie Środkowej. Imago o długości ciała do 42 mm i skrzydłach o rozpiętości do 90mm, wystających daleko za odwłok. Dymorfizm płciowy wyraźny, samice są nieco większe od samców i posiadają charakterystyczne pokładełko. Pospolicie występuje wśród wysokiej trawy. Drapieżnik, polujący na mniejsze owady i pajęczaki. Okazjonalnie uzupełnia dietę o liście i miękkie części roślin. Dobrze wspina się i skacze. Dorosłe osobniki sprawnie latają. Jaja składane są do ziemi za pomocą pokładełek. W słoneczne, letnie dni samce przez całe popołudnie i nocą trą pierwszą parą sztywnych skrzydeł, na których znajdują się aparaty strydulacyjne, żeby zwabić do siebie samice. Osobniki dorosłe występują od lipca do października.
The Cricket Tunnel is oriented roughly northwest to southeast, and passes under Old United States Route 65 south of Omaha. It is 2,657 feet (810 m) long, with a concrete-finished northwestern portal from which retaining walls extend, topped by a projecting cornice. The southeast portal is unfinished, as its opening was excavated out of bedrock. Much of the interior of the tunnel is lined with steel and concrete, as it passes through an area of mud and watery clay.[2]
Both tunnels were built at the same time in 1903-05 by crews of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Construction of the Cricket Tunnel took longer than anticipated due to the clay encountered, and by a rockslide in the tunnel in September 1904. The concrete lining was added to the tunnel in 1906 amid concerns of continuing rockfalls, and
additional work in 1916 removed the top from the southern 500 feet (150 m) of the tunnel.
