It's some sort of saddle-backed bush cricket, and they're omnivores with their diet being like 90% plants. Most katydids /bush crickets are omnivores actually, and the majority of them prefers plants (with some exeptions like Saginae and Listroscelidinae). I think out of all katydids only Saginae are pure carnivores though.

The one on the tree that was making the buzzing sound is called a Cicada. People here in texas mistakenly call them locusts. smh. Can always tell it is almost summer when you start hearing them buzzing in the trees. They stop/die off around end of August, mid September.

That lizard was like, "hey bro you have any water?" Petko is doing exactly what I did when I was a kid. Me and my friend Cassidy would go into the desert to look for bugs and spiders. I love this video! I love these wild life expeditions, they are really cool.
The spiders you found in order (as far as I can tell, no guarantee for correctness): 1) obviously (and you said it in teh video already) Araneus diadematus 2) relatively sure it's Araneus marmoreus, but don't take my word for it, they can have VERY different colours and sheme on the abdomen 3) almost 100% sure it's Argiope lobata, and a pretty fat female at that - close relative to that wasp-looking orb weaver

As far as the insects go, the first '"grasshopper" wasn't a grass hopper but rather Decticus verrucivorus, a bush cricket/ katydid. Normally they're green, but in dry environment they're often brown or grey. The thing that bit you was also a bush cricket, looks a lot liek a saddle-backed bush cricket (Bradyporidae) - probably from the genus Ephippiger. The mantis was definitely from the genus Ameles, the best guess here would be Ameles decolor, but the adult one (definitely a male btw) could have been Ameles spallanzania too.

The shape of the abdomen is quite different from A. angulatus, I was thinking of angulatus first too, but after lookign a bit at 14:36 I'm pretty sure its not. Youre probably right on the grasshopper, though I''ve seen a lot of grey/ brown D. verrucivorus in dry habitats.

well, for me the shape of the abdomen looks different than that of A. marmoreus, yes the tubercles are not visible very well, it is definitely not a very good camera angle to see them. At least I think I see them ;)
I’m jealous you found 2 mantises in a day and I’ve only ever seen 3 in my life
I do this all the time in the summer months, sometimes i sketch the insects, birds, or animals i see. I snap photos too. Its a very relaxing thing to do!
I love watching people who are so respectful of nature and it’s animals. It’s peaceful and reassuring. Good stuff, good sir!

@catcallender5913

grizzlehatchet1 that is a cicada not a locust, although many mistake them for locusts as some species come out from underground only once every 13-17 years in droves when they reach adulthood then go back underground. East coast of the US we have locusts like the one in the video year round, as well as the swarms of periodical species. Locusts have back legs like grasshoppers & jump as well as fly. They look very anatomically similar to grasshoppers.

1:12 tf kinda driveway
English lessons: 3:15 Those are called wind turbines in english, or windmills if you aren't feeling precise. 4:34 Technically a locust is a type of grasshopper that creates big swarms, but sometimes I call a big grasshopper a locust too. 5:15 I believe that is a cricket, not a grasshopper. 6:44 that bug is a cicada. And the type of pattern you notice on the spider at 17:40 is called a serration pattern, and the bumps are called serrations.
Loved this video so much! Thank you for bringing us with u into the nature ♥

Grasshoppers are predators, Locusts are not - they are plant eaters. In my country as far as I know we got pretty small Locusts and quite big Grasshoppers like (Tettigonia viridissima) and we call them both "Pasikonik" or "Konik Polny" and its a bit funny (Konik - horsie, Polny - field = field horsie? :D)

Been watching your vids for quite a while now. Love to watch someone who knows what hes doing. More power and Goodluck. From the Philippines
"Locusts are certain species of short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae that have a swarming phase." It is just a different kind, I believe that locusts actually fly unlike grasshoppers. :) Love your videos Petko :D

Sorry about the car. The landscape there is phenomenal. I love videos like this because it shows what it is like where you are from. The rocks were mesmerizing. Cool finds as well.
Beautiful countryside!
I have 10 Cross Spiders ouround on different spots on my Glassed Balcony. I have collected them as small Spiders, and they are growing. They are so beautiful, I think. Feeding them with Fruit Flyes. Best wishes from Bo.
That was awesome, orb weavers are so cool, course so are mantids, lizards and horses.
We have similar Orb Weavers in the state of Alabama in the USA. Some of ours get really large. Good video. Thanks!
Whoa those roads are crazy narrow. Also, I want whatever that is you're eating. It look so good!
A fun and very interesting video; I love that you take the time to do this for everyone's enjoyment. Some older people that aren't mobile and kids who love "bugs" should especially appreciate it. I also found the orb spider's unusual spinner placement interesting. I also found it interesting that our cicadas here in the USA (So. California) look the same but sound so different. Ours are at least ten times as loud, being almost deafening when many are calling at the same time. Also fun is hearing the "why the long face" horse joke from someone who lives so far from me and who speaks a different language. It has always been one of my favorite silly jokes. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
6:46 that's a cicada! Very neat creatures, and completely harmless, their only defense is screaming.
That spider in the thumbnail is one of the coolest looking spider species. I once saw a picture of it in a book when I was a child and always wanted to see it unfortunately they don’t live in my home country.
Locust and grasshoppers are the same thing. They start as grasshoppers, but a metamorphosis happens when large numbers of them group together and they form swarms. The swarming grasshoppers, who have turned from green to gray (at least our N. American species), are now locusts. Also, grasshoppers don't bite. That cute little bitey thing was most likely a katydid.
Dude I love your place so peaceful 😍
