Yesterday as I was moving pots for the anticipated cold snap, I came upon this little green one. He was trying to hide from me behind a pot and I was trying to get a better look at him to figure out if he was a grasshopper or a cricket. I'm still wondering...



So as I moved the pot out of the way to get his picture, he went on the move.



As I was snapping his picture, I realized that he was moving right towards me, instead of away! He was looking right at me too!



Pretty soon, he was right at the edge of the potting bench thingy, staring straight at me...



and then he did it! He jumped right on me! But I jumped too and he landed on the patio! I was laughing out loud! It was even funnier when I turned and the dogs were lined up laying in the grass across the patio, all just looking at me like I'm crazy!



I'm pretty sure it's a green cricket. With red eyes!
