Ah, bugs. Bugs are awesome. I had far too much fun photographing crickets and grasshoppers on our walk today. Less butterflies, but crickets chirp and jump and are fun to catch!. Acorns and hazelnuts and blackberries are ripening in the hedgerows as well, which is maybe a sign that summer is coming to an end. Here is my cricket picture; he stayed obligingly very still!
It's a Roesel’s Bush-Cricket apparently, and I've learnt that crickets have longer antennae than grasshoppers, and are more likely to be seen at dusk, whereas grasshoppers are out more in the daytime. I'd love to crochet one, but I haven't worked out a good way of doing it yet. Maybe one day!
