Lovely pictures Rhea. I especially like the Garter Snake shots.

Some grasshopper in the garten of my parents.

Lovely photo. In the UK we call this a "Katydid". Grasshoppers are different here (I don't have a picture).

Gijs & Sabine · 07-16-2007, 05:04 PM

Thanks James, I hope I'll remember. The dictionary told me grasshopper

adamanteus · 07-16-2007, 05:49 PM

Perhaps "Katydid" is only a UK name. Like we call Natrix natrix helvetica a Grass Snake, while you call it a Ringed Snake. Different countries, different names!

On this side of the pond, we have different types of grasshoppers, crickets, and katydids... and the katydids are so named because their song sounds like they are saying, "katydid, katydid" or "katy-she-did, katy-she-did-she-did"!

common true katydid (Pterophylla camellifolia)

Both of the above links include some photos and wav recordings of grasshopper and katydid songs. Enjoy!

We call this animal a *free translation...* Treegrasshopper, Meconema thalassinum

They look a lot like the Tettigonia viridissima

few new pics coming in a second or so...

Could be, but there are a lot "daddy longlegs"

In the UK we call several things "Daddy-Longlegs"........Pholcus, Harvestmen, and Crane-Flies. Another reason why I prefer scientific names.
