Grasshopper Eggs

She was cute sitting on a hosta leaf with her double striped self blending in with the foliage.
And she was cute sitting on a bright pink daylily with her little green body acting as a pleasing contrast.
She is not so cute laying eggs between my deck boards.
I wonder how many grasshoppers would come from this egg sack. I don't really want to be overwhelmed with a large population, therefore I'm afraid to say that the sack is probably compost bound.

Grasshopper, Damsel Fly And Green Bottle Fly~ My Garden Critters

Here are some shots of my winged garden visitors over the past several weeks.



Two striped grasshopper blending in with the hosta.



Damsel flies are so photogenic, and always pose for awhile.


Green bottle flies are pretty, although you don't want to think about where their little feet may have been:).


Another two striped grasshopper on a daylily. I'm not sure what vegetation these grasshoppers consumed, and didn't notice any significant damage in the garden.
