could this be an early instar of a type of bush cricket, @Insectra?
@Insectra, thank you for sharing your treasure trove of knowledge
@Insectra, yes, i think i found it: australian assassin bug nymph.
@walklightly Yep! That was my guess, though we call them "Wheel Bugs" where I live.
very interesting. looks like a form of ant or wasp
legs & antennae are too long; i guess it's a kind of cricket, baby stage.
@walklightly I don't think so as its the wrong shape for a cricket
@walklightly im going to find out
@LeighShelton, yes, you're right. it is an australian assassin bug nymph - here an archive pic.
@walklightly cool nasty little things if your lunch. thank you

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.
