It's not easy being green

We found this little guy in my son's hair at Kitanomaru Koen. This grasshopper was really tiny, smaller than a fingernail.

Tokyo Midtown Cricket

This father's day I had a walk in Tokyo Midtown's Garden with my daughter. She was looking for bugs to catch in a bottle, but wasn't too successful. She caught a couple dango mushi (or rolly polies) that were under the bushes. I found a cricket sitting on a blue hydrangea.

There was also this beautiful fresh fern growing in the garden.
