Tourist in the pot

Enjoy growing
June 10, 2008


I must confess this cricket (more than 10 cm/4 inches long) freaked me out.

Grasshopper

I was be afraid that it was dead but a few hours later, it was gone. I hope it was only sleeping!

EDIT - thanks to SARAH, NAGALONE e ~KD: it's a grasshopper, not a cricket.

non è un grillo ma una cavalletta!!!! Si riconoscono perché il grillo ha il ventre piatto mentre la cavalletta,come la tua amica nel vaso, lo ha allungato. Ne so qualcosa...ne ho ospitata una in casa per tutto l inverno sul termosifone, nutrendola a insalata e carote.
PS...sito bellissimo!!!

Ciao Sarah, allora posso dire di aver avuto un invasione di cavallete in un bicchierino!

Sarah ha ragione, e una cavalletta ... e non era li per caso, ma per MANGIARE ... occhio alle piantine

Ah beh, tra afidi, bellissimi (ma affamati) bruchi verdi e gatti dispettosi le cavallette mi mancavano! Ho un bell allevamento...

Hi there!

What you had there wasn t a cricket. It was a grasshopper. Crickets don t grow to be that big. We had one the size you ve described, come into our dining room, at night. It was jumping and flying everywhere. I m not usually frightened by insects, but this one, like you, freaked me out, mainly because it was difficult to catch. You re a good photographer. Thanx for sharing!

Attenzione!!!
Forse la piaga è arrivata!! E il momento in cui le cavallette fanno le uova nella terra...io ho cominciato a trovare nella terra dei miei vasi dei piccoli forellini e sulla relativa pianta mini-cavallette verdoline di meno di un cm. Molto carine ma occhio! sono fameliche!
