And, in breaking news, here's the first migratory locust ever seen in Lincoln, NZ, seen today by William Harland at 2:30 pm.

This is a widespread cosmopolitan species considered native to NZ, and with the Māori name Kapakapa. In the right conditions elsewhere in the world it reaches pest-level densities.

Mit Montana stricta haben wir dem Heuschrecken-Wiki eine weitere interessante Beißschrecke hinzugefügt. Die Art ist in Italien und auf dem Balkan entlang der dalmatinischen Küste verbreitet.

A demure little katydid nymph, perched on a buttercup.

Much warmer last night, with lots of really tiny #beetles in among the scarabs (still mostly Phyllotocus macleayi).

The second frame includes a garden #katydid, Caedicia simplex, with more colourful legs than most. (#Tettigoniidae)

Frames 3 and 4 both include a darkling #beetle of the genus Tanychilus (#Tenebrionidae, #Alleculinae)

At least I saw a lot of cool bugs. Here are 4 orders of insects:

- Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, etc.)
- Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths)
- Hemiptera (true bugs)
- Hymenoptera (ants, wasps, bees, sawflies)

iNat is being a butt right now so can't narrow it down much.

Immature red-headed bush cricket (Phyllopalpus pulchellus) posing on a hydrangea petal. I'm looking forward to hearing all the courting males in a few weeks. Wikipedia says, "It is described as being loud." #cricket #orthoptera #insect #nymph #entomology #nature #hydrangea #flowers #macrophotography

Tree cricket nymph on the underside of a fig leaf. Per Nancy Collins on iNaturalist, either Oecanthus niveus or Oecanthus exclamationis, but too young for diagnostic markings to be present. She was able to confirm that it's adorable, however. #insect #entomology #nature #MacroPhotography #nymph #TreeCricket #orthoptera
