Cricket Fever

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Found in a meadow at the back of the sand dunes on the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria. Most likely Speckled Bush-Cricket (Leptophyes punctatissima), female.
If you zoom in, you can see what I assume to be cricket legs barely out of the corners of it’s mouth.
Not an expert on crickets, but I think this is a Speckled Bush Cricket. I was so delighted to find this fella as only the other day I was bemoaning the fact that we don't hear crickets chirping up here int he frozen north. He as a perfect model. jumped onto my hand and then sprang gracefully onto a green bean leaf. Wouldn't keep his antenna still however.
Have a great Sunday folks.
