Cricket or Grasshopper?

I was picking my veggies the other day and this cricket decided to hop on my shirt. My kids loves and fascinated with critters like this so I walked slowly towards our house. I called and showed them what's on my shirt and they were so amazed that he did not jumped down when I walked inside the house.
I released the little fella after my kids   saw them and he stayed a good bit  outside our door which gave me time to  take some more photos.
Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for visiting!

  2. Those are some great pictures! I grew up on a farm and we always had lots of interesting critters to look at. Yet to me, this looks much more like a grasshopper (although I'm not sure the species), than a cricket.

    Take a look at http://www.konza.ksu.edu/keep/hopperspecieslist.htm for some pictures of grasshoppers, as well as this list:

    For a contrast, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_(insect) for a little bit about crickets. They are closely related to grasshoppers, but look a bit different.

  3. Thanks Aldon, I actually thought it was a grasshopper too but the color is brown and it was littler compared to the former so I assumed that it's a cricket. Thanks for the added info though.

  9. Looks like a grasshopper to me. In the US, grasshoppers and crickets look nothing alike. And crickets don't stick around to be photographed. Nice shots.
