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.

Un grand merci à toutes et tous pour vos visites, favoris et commentaires.

Thank you so much for viewing, faving, commenting my images

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? 😶

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.

Cricket ball made of leather.

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 cricketing moment immortalised in bronze of bowler Jason Gillespie throwing a fast ball to batsman Darren Lehmann, as a spray of water from the sprinklers waters the lawn between them at the Adelaide Oval.

A cool looking Cricket that I photographed in Pennsylvania.

Looking like something out of a horror film.

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.

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

A beautiful insect. Summer season.

Trying out a patch of land not far from the Medieval path in Grazalema, was not not having much luck when I noticed a small cricket nymph on what looks like a species of Spurge. Not sure which species though it could be Speckled Bush cricket.

Best viewed very large.
