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.
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.
Thank you so much for viewing, faving, commenting my images
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.
These crickets were enjoying a daisy snack until I came along and pointed the camera at them : ))

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

Lots of Crickets this year.
They mainly ate the sweet potato leaves, quince leaves and Zinnia leaves.
Have a wonderful Monday
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.

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

Loitering amongst the stinging nettles. In a nearby field, Bournemouth, UK. I think the garden birds have devoured our resident population.
Thanks for looking

Koliwada, or fishing community engages in the most popular sports of the Asian sub-continent. Its Saturday evening, so 25 years back, I would definitely be doing the exact same thing !!! *sigh*

(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.
