North American Spur-throated Grasshopper (Melanoplus sp.) in my backyard, September 2018. Grasshoppers in this genus feed on many different kinds of grass and other plants, occasionally feeding on fruits or even tree bark. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #melanoplus #grasshopper #spurthroatedgrasshopper #grasshoppers #orthoptera #naturephotography #macrophotography #entomology #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #backyardgarden #simcoeontario #norfolkcountyca (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjP4IolO9qq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Planthopper (Family Delphacidae) in my backyard, June 2018. This individual doesn't have the fully functioning large wings normally associated with a Planthopper adult (similar to my discussion of nymphal Grasshoppers, yesterday), but it's actually an adult. Many species of Delphacidae have two forms of adult: one with short wings that can't fly (pictured here) and one that develops long wings and is capable of flight. Nymphs develop into the long-winged flying form in response to crowding, thus aiding the species' dispersal across a habitat. . . . . . . . #delphacidae #planthopper #norfolkcounty #polymorphism #brachypterous #gardenbugs #macrowildlife #macrophotography #insectphotography #insectsofinstagram #arthropodsofinstagram #gardeninsects #gardenwildlife #backyardbugs #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #simcoeontario (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBD0odegG6M/?igshid=r57tjeyky1km

Long-legged Fly (Genus Condylostylus) in my backyard, June 2018. These beautiful metallic green flies are common on leaves in gardens and forests across North America. They hunt for small arthropod prey across the leaf surfaces, glinting in the sun like jewels. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #condylostylus #dolichopodidae #fliesofinstagram #insects_of_our_world #insectphotography #macrowildlife #macrophotography #macrowildlife #invert_macro #gardeninsects #backyardwildlife #norfolkwild #norfolkcounty #blognorfolk #simcoeontario #naturephotography #macroworld (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5QuZ6g--2/?igshid=wno1867e340t

Today in #SimcoeOntario there was a #dragqueenstoryhour and it was delightful. The absolute best part: the hateful christofascist «protestors» were outnumbered by tenfold and the cars passing honking in support made the fascists sad.

Sharpshooter Leafhopper (of the Genus Draeculacephala) in my backyard, July 2018. These Leafhoppers feed on grasses of various kinds. I'm unable to find the origin of the Genus name Draeculacephala, but "Sharpshooter" comes from two different sources. It refers to their feeding damage being like it was caused by tiny bullets (because of their piercing mouthparts). But it also refers to their habit of launching excess sap away from themselves rapidly and forcibly. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #simcoeontario #draeculacephala #leafhopper #leafhoppers #cicadellidae #cicadellinae #hemiptera #homoptera #leafhoppersofinstagram #backyardbugs #backyardinsect #insectsinmygarden #invert_macro #macrophotography #macroinsect #macronature #blognorfolk #norfolkcountyontario #norfolkwild (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsrZzjpMc0/?igshid=oz4wsw74yv9c
