Mormon Crickets

Richard left early this morning and didn't come back until this afternoon.  He went fishing.  Yesterday we saw Mormon crickets at the freeway exit. There were a lot mor this morning.  The photos are in a random order.

This a photo of the crickets on the wall of the house taken from the patio.

Another photo showing the door to the patio.

I didn't want the crickets going into greenhouse five. I shut the east door and blocked it from opening. put a little dirt at the bottom edge of the door to prevent the crickets from crawling under.

An early photo showing the back porch wall with only a few crickets.

Richard and Carol arranging some nicknacks in her bedroom.

Robert was collecting some plants out west of Meadow.  I took a picture of this flowering wildflower.  Robert took Richard and me to the hot springs.  There were a lot of people bathing there.  On the way home we stopped at Roper's for some things that we needed to water the plants in greenhouse two.

Here is a better photo.

Crickets in the grass.

 

We transplanted three rows of dahlia plants.  Robert is watering them.

This is the road in front of our house.  There are thousands of crickets there.

Robert is measuring the rows for the dahlia plants.

A post in the southwest corner of our yard covered with crickets.   I got out the lawnmower to catch the crickets, I went back and forth on the back lawn, the east lawn and the front lawn. I didn't get any in the grass catcher.  I did get a lot of crickets on the backwall of then house with the vacuum.
