Close up of a purple flower with deep purple stripes radiating from a pale white center. A bright green katydid lays in the bottom center of the flower. Its antennae are forward making it look grumpy.

Was checking my morning glories….the kadydid wants me off his lawn. 😅 #insects #bloomscrolling #grumpykatydid

P.S. Apparently, a lot of places call #katydids #bushcrickets. I think that’s cute.

Roesel's Bush Cricket in my 1st rec for my Coastal Whitstable Garden. Apparently this fully winged form diluta is seen in hot summers. #wildlifegardens #UKinsects #bushcrickets @kentfieldclub.bsky.social

Is it a Savi's warbler? No it's a Roesel's bush-cricket in St Helens today. (Apologies to those who attended 1970s/80s heavy metal gigs, you'll probably have to be content with the video 😄) #StHelensBirding #orthoptera #bushcrickets

Made up to find this Roesel's bush-cricket today at Barrow Lane St Helens, a first for me & about the 2nd recorded in the borough I think, but no doubt under recorded #StHelensBirding. Even more made up to be able to focus on it! #bushCrickets #orthoptera
