Just up the street... - 10-08-2010, 08:25 PM


is an overgrown 70 acre tract that will soon be an emergency care center. The ragweed and other late season foliage is tall and full of critters. Might as well shoot them while they're still there.

#1 Grasshopper

#2 False katydid, Scudderia sp. being backlit from directly behind

#3 Same critter

#4 Cucumber beetle in the ragweed

#5 Little black beetle in the ragweed, these are very numerous and very black

Thanks for looking.

Very nice images, Kenny, but that rag weed is causing all sorts of allergy issues for me.

Great shots Kenny. #1 is not on my favorite critter list - good portrait though.

One year ~1999 my house and yard (Tarrant County) was overrun by those things; ate everything except the concrete, brick, and garden hose.
