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.

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.
ReplyDeleteTake 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.
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.

ReplyDeleteLooks 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.
ReplyDeleteCute photos! I love seeing insects up close. So fascinating.
ReplyDeleteNice grasshopper!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy looking little fellow!
ReplyDeleteGrasshopper....

ReplyDeleteHahaha, you have such a magnetic personality that even insects like that grasshopper became so attached to you. Your kids must have been so thrilled to see a grasshopper in your blouse. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
