Hi Sue & DMM - Oops! I should have put a link in for the Katydid.
Katydids are what we call them in the US. Apparently they are called bush-crickets if one is using British English.
They look a lot like grasshoppers, but scientifically are more closely related to crickets.
They are much larger than and have have much longer antennae than our grasshoppers, but really look nothing at all like our little black crickets! Thanks! ;o) - Lee
Sorry if I'm duplicating my comment - something bombed out on my pc...
ReplyDeleteDid you guys make up the name Katydid, or is that a common name? Here we just call them grasshoppers, if they're little, or locusts if they're big.
Love the picture, especially the wood.

Sue, I think Katydids are more like crickets than grasshoppers - but I could be wrong!
ReplyDeleteLee - such a pretty wee crawlie!
Maybe... but our crickets are brown and flat, more like a cockroach (my worst)... the politics of bugs :)

No, they don't look anything like the little black crickets. I wonder if they sing like them!
