I came across a little painted turtle in the strawberry patch.
๐๐
I think this is a grasshopper but it doesn't look like the ones I'm familiar with. I thought sure it would fly or jump as I closer to take a picture. No movement I thought odd. I then quickly realized is was not alive.
๐๐
Mountain Laurel growing on the edge of the marsh.
๐๐
Pine pollen floating on the water.

Poppy flower pod.
I took this and the below photo in early June.

The grasshopper thing looks like a dragonfly larvae molt, it probably just hatched. Was there water nearby?

Hello...!! :D
@ sketch.and.jam
Thank you for the information..!!!! Awesome ๐. I was thinking it might be a process of metamorphosis...
I couldn't find any photos to help me identify. It was on the edge of the marsh. So definitely water.. :D
I just had a look to see if I could i.d. your bug. I think it might be a dragonfly nymph. I mean, I have no idea, really โ iNaturalist thinks itโs a southern hawker. Not to say their suggestions are always accurate, but after looking at some photos, itโs definitely not impossible.
Hello...!!!
@ripirate
Thank You for looking it up and the information. I shall look into that and check out iNaturalist....!!!!!
Many Thanks
..!
@sketch.and.jam reply is saying the same. I was looking up grasshopper.
I was on the wrong track..
:D
INaturalist is fantastic โ we usually use the identification tool as something like a starting point, and then research from thereโ thereโs a lot more to the app, as well.
Turtles strawberries dead insects and the beauty of nature what a delightful post and walk :)
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
Thank You..!!!!
:D
@tattoodjay
Nature is truly awesome and amazing...๐ค
Isnt it just I work in a big city but especially on a nice day like today I would be so uch happier out walking in a nice park with nature than stuck in the office
I truly has to be hard cooped up in an office @tattoodjay on a beautiful day...!! It would drive me crazy...!! ๐คฏ.
Ohh it really is but I am all ready crazy so thats OK ;)

Beautiful walk! I love the turtle. We don't have them around here, I don't think.
Hello....
Thank You...!!!
@goat-girlz...
They are a very beautiful Turtle....!!!
:D
Ha the turt is raiding the strawberries. At least its a slow stoppable raid. I had a crew of peacocks raid my strawberry bed and the whole process took them 1 minute, they even ate the green ones.

@annephilbrick the turtle was eyeing that plump strawberry but him being slow saved the strawberry. You take very pretty pictures, that is a weird looking grasshopper.
