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.

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

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.

We are going to go a little further north, leaving the Sombrero Chino island to reach the Bartolomeo island. Both islands, very small, are located near the island of Santiago. The birds follow us during the crossing.

or camel cricket? not sure. but cute and tiny on this rose pedal

Orthoptera is an order of insects that comprises the grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets, including closely related insects, such as the bush crickets or katydids and wētā. The order is subdivided into two suborders: Caelifera – grasshoppers, locusts, and close relatives; and Ensifera – crickets and close relatives.

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

Cricket is undoubtedly the most popular game played in the subcontinent. .

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.

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.

 

Have you ever heard a cricket song? Here is one:

From the possible subjects and ideas today, I chose this little cricket ball. It is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and with its silicone base keeps insects off my drink. In the background its alter ego the tennis ball.

A cool looking Cricket that I photographed in Pennsylvania.

If you zoom in, you can see what I assume to be cricket legs barely out of the corners of it’s mouth.

Looking like something out of a horror film.

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

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

A cricket visiting our dinner table in Greece.

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.
