Description
Nikon 7900 pocket camera - hand held image.
Yesterday's critter was a Two-spotted Tree Cricket
(Neoxabea bipunctata). It is found through most of North America and some of Mexico as well as Ontario, Canada. Males sing mostly at night: a 10-second trill followed by several seconds of silence, then a trill again. After mating, male hangs downward from foliage, allowing female to hang below him and feed on secretions from his thorax.
Several people were close with their guesses. Some were closer, lol.
Tonight's critter is actually a nymph. It will look totally different when it becomes an adult. It reminds me of a Big Creature in one of the early Star Wars movies, lol.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

I guess ... l leafhopper. :-) Very cool shot by the way. That eye is creepy.
great shot...
....was für ein Geselle! Du und Deine Kamera sehen aber auch alles - auch so kleine Urwelt-Monster! Super-tolle Aufnahme von diesem eigenartigen Tier!
Yes it certainly does look like something from starwars! I sure don't know what it is , but is sure is creepy... It sorta reminds me of a flea... but heck, I don't get this bug id thing yet... lol... but I keep trying :) Great shot.
Extremely cute, in the same way that French Bulldogs are! I have no idea what it is.
WOW.Amazing macro.
Hey, I thought Star Wars the moment I saw this as well. Fact is stranger than fiction yet again !!
My amazement comes from how well you can focus on such a small object. Your time in the outdoors introduces us here to small world few of us are even aware of. Excellent and educational series.
As always - Amazing!
WOW - great shot of a futuristic looking critter. Great, my friend.
Great macro
looks somewhat like a cicada nymph, but the eyes aren't quite right... Anyway, super shot of this strange looking creature.
awesome macro work...
I will go with PJ on this one Lee, then I am using the same site as you are for id I thought I recognised this image.#;0) Excellent capture and I thought about the giant walkers in Star Wars as well, such a litle thing as this makes us think very large indeed. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
This little guy has quite the armor. I wonder what he'll be when he grows up. :o) Excellent shot.
