This "cricket" we found is actually the Red-Legged Grasshopper found in the Handbook of Nature Study. Another new thing we learned was that grasshoppers lay their eggs in the ground.
We also found a spring green colored little grasshopper with no other markings. I'm thinking maybe it was a young one that just hadn't gotten it's full colors yet, because I can't find a picture online to identify it.
We'll see what Nature brings us this week!

Nice find! We will be going over trees next week and I made a notebooking page for it. I can share if you want. Don't know what you will be going over next but I will be trying to keep a schedule of one page a week.
That is what I love about homeschooling . . . Mom learning alongside her children! :-) The whole family is better for it!
I think we learn more when we have to dig deep for the information. Now you will know the difference between the two insects forever. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience,
Barb-Harmony Art Mom
