GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS

THEME: PICK TWO

SUBJECT: A KATYDID

(not quite an inch and a half)

 

I have seen these by our rose bushes but I have never seen them this small. I was sitting by the picnic table by the lake the other day when this very tiny "thing" landed in front of me. The body was no more than 1/4" but the hind legs and the antennae were about 1/2" long! When I went home I went straight to google!

 

"Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (in Australia, South Africa, Canada, and the United States),[1] or bush crickets.[2] They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers".[3] More than 6,400 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.

 

They are primarily nocturnal in habit with strident mating calls. Many katydids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves.[4]" - Wikipedia

Happy Macro Monday to all flickr friends, HMM

 

p.s. wide of the metallic brush about 5-6cm

I found this stone with a hole in the middle in a creek many, many years ago. The hole must have been carved out by water flowing over and around the stone. I put it on a string and I used to wear it around my neck.

 

HMM everyone.

A metallic glazed pottery vase for Macro Mondays Pick Two theme.

 

I was clearing out the shed last week and I came across this old hand built pottery vase that I made at my one attempt at pottery evening classes many years ago. It is not a great thing of beauty and the forgetmenots are trying to cover a great chip in the base, yet I can’t quite bring myself to throw it away, so I expect it will go back to the shed after its only moment of glory. Needless to say, I didn’t pursue the dream of being a potter!

"Macro Monday`s" Pick Two.

I picked 'blue' and 'flower' from the list for this weeks Macro Mondays 'Pick Two' theme. Tried a couple of other combinations but liked this one best.

 

I threw a couple of handfuls of wildflower seeds in my garden a few years ago and this beautiful nigella is one of the many recurring results.
