Crickets, Bugs, Butterflies and an Alien.
Continuing my summer macro photo round up – we start with what I think are a collection of Crickets.
I know this first one definitely is.

The Cricket
And I think these next 3 are of an early instar of some form of cricket. This is very tiny – about 3mm long.

The Dancer
Then onto a bug…a Planthopper

Speckled Wood
And a caterpillar of some form – probably a sawfly.

Green Caterpillar
Then onto the Unidetified Alien…I think it must be some form of nymph.
