Field Notes

Description:

It's green and hopper or cricket like with transparent green flat wings and it moves in a way that makes me worry about biting

School yard lawn

Notes:

It was in the green grass but kids captured it with the dry grass it's shown on here

Hi Annette, this is a great shot of a cricket! Unfortunately it doesn't belong in The Hoppers mission. I've removed it for you but am looking forward to seeing a hopper that meets the mission objective :)

Also, I don't think they bite, so no worries there. Tree Crickets do have a sorta disjointed locomotion on the ground from my experience. Happy spotting!

You are most welcome. I'm happy I could help. I hope the children enjoyed seeing it.

Thank you, I think Snowy Tree Cricket looks perfect.

This looks like a tree cricket, maybe a snowy tree cricket. See the link for some pictures. http://bugguide.net/node/view/145759/bgimage
