What a beautiful dance I attended!
The reproduction of 2 Syrphe "penholder".
It is recognizable by its yellow escutcheon located behind the thorax.
He is an excellent pollinator.
In addition, these larvae feed on aphids.
They must be preserved in gardens.
It can generate a dozen generations a year!
The cricket, often solitary in France,
he loves grass plants.
He produces his sweet song by rubbing these paws.
It is often confused with the grasshopper (next photo) or the cricket.
The grasshopper, it emits its song by rubbing its wings.
She is omnivorous unlike locusts.
All this little world under the watchful eye of Bobby, my cat,
who prefers mice and rats! haha
