Hi Anne, it looks very much like a cricket or even a katydid and both of those insects are related to grasshoppers at any rate.I like crickets and they are always a welcome summer evening sound to hear chipping in the way that only they can do.Your image has good colour and nice detail going for it and the only thing that could of maybe made it a little better would of been to stop the lens down to have more of the little creature in sharp focus.Crickets are harmless to humans and some even consider them to be lucky to have as pets.Thank you for dropping by in my Summer's Gone photo and for your kind words.

Hello Anne,
Indeed, it looks like a cricket. Beautiful natural colours, nice sharpness and an excellent DOF.
Regards,
Peter

Bonjour Anne,
An interesting capture!
This is definitely a species of Bush Cricket but it is difficult to ID owing to the strange colouring and the damaged, half-dried body. I wonder if it was alive?.
The stong long legs and long ovipositor suggest that this is a female Ephipigger ephipigger but I am not sure.
The image is sharp and well composed with fine lighting and colours late in the season.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Hola Anne,
como bien dices parece tener dañado el abdomen y parece que le faltan algunos anillos. También a esa distancia se hace difícil apreciar alguns detalles. Ivan opina bien, aunque también tiene parecidos esta especie a Anonconotus alpinus, por lo que se hace bastante su id al menos para mí.
Técnicamente, la disposición del insecto sobre la hoja queda muy bien.
Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi.

Liebe Anne,

es ist verständlich, dass Du erstaunt warst, ein solch ungewöhnliches Tier bei Dir anzutreffen, und eine gute Photographin wie Du lässt natürlich die Gelegenheit zur Dokumentation nicht aus! Das ist gut so. Aber das adulte Vieh ist tot, vermutlich von einem Vogel angepickt. Der Karkass hat die Farben veloren, ausser die Farbe Rosarot in den Augen. Die Augen und der "Violinschlüssel" auf dem Prothorax verraten, dass es sich um Pholidoptera griseoaptera handeln muss, keine Seltenheit. Dir war ja klar, dass die Aufnahme keine Schönheitswettbewerbe gewinnen kann, deshalb kommentiere ich sie auch nicht.

Herzlich grüsst Dich

Hello Anne,
very strange indeed.I think its a cricket, but Im not good in this field of science.
But you have captured it very well in its sharpness and excellent exploitation of the incoming light.
The blue bokeh gives a special effect and the view of the leaf too offer a nice texture too.

Regards,
Foozi

Hallo Anne!

Die Geschichte um dieses Insekt ist äusserst spannend und dank Dieter ist die Lösung des Rätsels nun bekannt. Dein Bild ist ebenso besonders wie der Hintergrund zu dessen Entstehungsgeschichte. Das Highlight ist der grün-blaue Farbkontrast.

As liebs Grüessli

Markus
