( Black-Horned Tree Cricket )
(Black-Legged Meadow Katydid)
Oh...he is so BUSTED!
(Conenose)
Apparently without a full frontal face image, it is next to impossible to identify these katydids to species. All I know for certain is that it is some type of Conenose and they are closely related to katydids.

And another, seeing pattern yet?
Yep, it is another, if you couldn't tell I love these katydid's
(Mystery Tree Cricket)
There are so many light green tree crickets that it is difficult at first glance to know what they are. I do not have an identity for this little fellow, but she/ he is such a lovely shade of lime green I thought I would share.
Oh yea, another Black-Legged Meadow Katydid
Great photos! Love the black-horned tree cricket.
ReplyDeleteThanks Moe, they are lovely crickets. I was so surprised to find them this past summer. I had never seen them before. I found several and each were colored a little bit differently. The one pictured her had the most black on it and was a really stunning specimen.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a trip through Cricketland. My archives have many photos of crickets, katydids, etc. and their nymphs. And, even though I know I'll never be able to get much of an ID on most of them, I cannot keep myself from taking more photos. Could it be an obsession?
ReplyDeleteOH Marvin it very well could be an obsession, bordering on illness (at least for me) I cannot resist the Orthoptera. I too have many that will most likely never be ID'd. You should gather some of your favorites and share a photo stream. I would love to see them, and I bet most of your followers would as well.
