Differential Grasshopper

Most prevalent in the central U.S., this grasshopper has distinguishing chevron stripes on its 'thighs'. The black pattern is not unique to this species, but it is rare to see on other grasshoppers. The back legs also have spines on them. Like other grasshoppers, this one has short, horned antennae and produces a buzzing noise by rubbing the hind wings against the forewings. The tan and black coloring helps it blend in with the tall dry grasses that they eat.

Horace's Duskywing

The Horace's Duskywing (Erynnis horatius) butterfly ranges from Texas and the Gulf of Mexico to the northern U.S. states. At first glance, this quick-flying, darting butterfly appears to be a moth. However, it is a member of the skipper family of butterflies.

Dog-Day Cicada

Seen frequently on the hottest days of the summer, the Dog-Day Cicada is a harmless insect that happens to be a delightful food item for many other animals. Raccoons, wasps and other insects feast on the cicada all season long. Adult cicadas have a call that sounds like a circular saw tearing through wood, and in large numbers, that noise can be almost deafening during the day and at night.
