Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

The Joint Was Jumping

With lots of these Draeculacephala antica sharpshooters.
And smaller numbers of meadow katydids. Then they mowed the area. Damn it!
Elsewhere: the most common grasshopper species I see: Differentia. This is a late nymph stage.
Not a great photo, but then this is rarely seen: Jumping Bush-cricket.
Pine-tree Spur-throat. This was a new species for me.

    Those cute little wings in the last photo look like they do as much good as did the Cruiseliner Ventiports in my 1952 Dodge.
