Super
tiny one on hand, found at an NYC community garden
|
I think this was upstate, but in any case, it is trying to bite me
|
Enjoying the view from my hand
|
Looks
almost like a lizard from this angle
|
Another head on shot but not as fierce, different species but which I wonder
|
Yupp, I am still here
|
I like the diving position, anchored by two thin legs up top
|
This pic does not do it justice, the lens couldn't handle such a vibrant contrast of colors
|
Looks like a Barney's ad for nature-inspired jewelry.
|
So many shades of green!
|
From an NYC community garden
|
Such thin legs, high stepping into another flower
|
Teeniest potbelly in the natural world
|
Green and yellow, another great contrast of colors
|
Duo sharing a stem
|
One of the bigger ones, I wonder if they lose color as they age?
|
Still
has some fun coloring but sparser than the rest
|
Their
antennae look more like party hats
|
A
differently shaped numph, gotta be a katydid, right?
|
Same
one head one, ohhh, fierce
|
Paler
less colorful than the others but the legs and shape must
be katydid, see me trying to convince myself?
|
Whatever it is, it's cute, especially when peering down with long
dropping antennae
|
Scudder's
Bush Katydid nymph, wahoo, an ID!
