Cool Cricket

                  Cool Cricket, Lewisville, Texas

One of the things I love about living in Texas is that we still hear crickets in the evening during November. This one is a survivor with one leg half there and part of one antennae missing. Those big eyes followed every movement! I’m not even entirely sure it’s a cricket. The photo below was taken in October, a large grasshopper on the back door window - I didn’t use it for my Halloween posting so might as well share it here!

Water strider

          Waterstrider 

Watching the water striders in the pond in our back yard, and the perception changed a little, like it does seeing the expanse of the Grand Canyon or driving toward mountains. Interesting that something alive is so weightless, yet with enough mass to be able to walk on water.

Damselflies

         Mating Damselflies

… just returned from Alberta, where this summer’s hot temperatures have maintained high numbers of dragonflies and damselflies. These ones will have offspring born in Airdrie, just outside of Calgary.
