Grasshopper, no, Katydid

I haven’t been posting, have I? I’ve been making things, and trying to play more with my older daughter despite the baby, and working on a little computer game, that I may post, but I’m not sure that anyone would care, so I may not.

What to do with a grasshopper:
Here is a grasshopper we found, except as we learned when we tried to find out what to feed it, it isn’t a grasshopper, it was a katydid. Apparently grasshoppers have short fat antennae and katydids have long slender ones.

We kept it in a jar with a cloth over it for a few hours, then let it go back on our porch. It didn’t seem to want to eat any of the plants we put in the jar with it, so perhaps it was the kind that likes to eat bugs. We have an entire insect ecosystem over in our worm bin, worms, flies, lots of pill bugs, and lots of spiders, so there is plenty of fodder on our front porch!
