The Weirdness of a Tree

The observations this week were few, as some branches of the tree are already changing to yellow, orange and brownish color, and I also found a rare animal I asked my parents if they knew what the animal was but did not know, and also search in the Internet but the only thing that came out was a grasshopper. I also found some bugs. Last week I had found a spider hidden within the wood of the tree and close to it that's were I founded the bug and the rare animal.

This animal which name I don't know but I can say that it looks familiar to a grasshopper. I don't know exactly how he lives or anything since I couldn't get any information about it. You might know what this animal is or what's the name of it but I don't because I have never seen one before. Maybe the animal was just looking in the tree for something new, food, shelter, friends or even a mate. Who knows?

This bugs I found are living in this tree, I don't know exactly how they live or what they eat but I'm guessing that the tree is their shelter that protects them from being eaten from other animals, and also that they live as a big family.

Every time I observe the tree in front of my house I find new things; from simple animals to animals that I haven't seen before. This tree makes me wonder more about nature, about animals and the changes that I have seen in the past four weeks. This tree has been hiding animals that I would've never imagined. This tree or "Maxto" like my brother named him, has been the shelter of many animals perhaps food for the animals too. 
I wonder how the tree feels by having "company" (insects,people,animals) around him all the time? or Which is the favorite season of the tree? 
Winter, where it's cold and sometimes covered in snow, where the tree has no leaves, and the branches are twisted. Some people don't like how the tree looks, but does the tree like it? Spring, where the tree grows new leaves to look green once again. Summer, where it's hot and the tree is full of new branches and those branches full of green and beautiful leaves, but also the smell. Or fall, where the tree looks beautiful and the color is yellow or orange but starts to loose it's leaves again.

  1. The grasshopper thing looks like Joseph's Katydid; the others look like beetles--perhaps elm beetles. Great observations.
