Field Notes

Description:

Two species here, both a bug and a plant, both needing IDs but I only have one picture! <br> The bug looks like some kind of jumper/hopper with those large thighs on the rear legs. The head looks like that of a Mantid or maybe a damselfly
.<br> The plant looks very prickly.

Habitat:

Campsite on wooded mountain slope on the edge of Despeñaperros natural park in the Sierra Morena mountain range.

Wouldn't need to open it's wings to fly with those legs.
