grasshopper and crickets

I don't know very much about grasshoppers or crickets.
To be honest, I don't like them very much.
Hopping or jumping before your feet when you walk though the grass.
Unexpected and suddenly these critters jump before you know it in your shoes...
Some even had some blueish wings.
But they only showed these wings when hopping and not as they sit still.

Blues and Browns

I found lots of blue butterflies and also brown ones.
Mostly sunbathing in the early morning
To find out which is who and who is which, you have to look at the dots.

Polyommatrus Icarus, Common Blue, Icarus Blauwtje.
Aricia Agestis, Brown Argus, Bruin Blauwtje

I found a photo on the web of Stefan Hermans,
who made a clear explanation to find out about the difference.

Great banded Grayling

At first I had no clue, what kind of butterfly was flying around.
It landed on the figs to have something to eat.
But during his stay on the figs, he did not show his wings on the inside, which would be easier to find out his name.
However during flight I could see he was dark brown with a white band across the wings.

But google knows almost everything, so I found his name.
A Great Banded Grayling, Brintesia Circe, or Witband zandoog.

I wonder if the ones sitting on the ground is the same butterfly.
This one is less dark.

Sparrows

On the road to France,
we met these beautiful french sparrows.
They were very happy with some dutch leftovers.

Beautiful garland of glistening drops

Last poppy this year

Grasses

Autumn shows his beauty, despite all heavy rains and storms.

Fluff

The Fluff, happily lazing in the sunrays

heart

It looks like the birds greatly appreciated their peanuts,
by etching a heart shape in the empty pot

diamonds

Everywhere there were diamonds in the grass, when the son broke through.
