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.

Forest Kingfisher catches a cricket. For those who follow cricket, the game, that's a good catch!

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.

In many parts of the world, particularly China, crickets are thought to bring good luck.

Seems the cricket/grasshopper was enjoying the roses as well as the bee next door.

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.

Another conundrum, so when the sport cricket was invented, what on Earth was the thought process? 😶

These two have been snuggle buddies for a long while.

 

This and the following four photos were shot in this order over a three-minute period.

Still on my Garden safari...….clearly not a macro lens but I like it

Spotted a green cricket in the reeds along the river Nemer.

A beautiful insect. Summer season.

Sorry another one from last year! Have a good day folks ;0)

I used to play as a child, I still love to watch the game and now my children play I often watch their matches.

Thanks for stopping

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

Daisy and tiny green cricket from archives.

The cricket had already chewed on a petal.

A bit dark but you can still see the cricket.

 

Have a good one

(Oecanthus fultoni), also known as the thermometer cricket makes an occasional appearance on mild days in the winter. They live inside tree trunks close to the ground for a warmer micro-environment. Its antennae are disproportionately longer than its body. We were trying out a X10 extension tube on our Sony.

Sunday was spent in pursuit of White-letter hairstreaks with Lucy and Steve down on Alners gorse, we saw three or four in the tree tops, sadly that's where they stayed.

With the exception of Gatekeepers and mixed browns, butterfly numbers seemed very low, a few Skippers, Marbled and Large whites, a couple of Silver-washed fritz, Red and White admirals and just one Purple hairstreak.

 

My 'Bug of the Day', which I originally misidentified as a Bog bush cricket, and then in a state of much excitement as a Grey bush cricket... Was in fact a Dark Bush Cricket !! So not an Orthoptera tick for me... :@[

 

Common as muck

Immature/late instar or possibly even an adult female, but I've now completely lost interest and shall refer to all crickets in the future as hoppy/jumpy things.
