bug moment

Today on...um...bugs!

A few days ago I found this living pipe cleaner teeny grasshopper in the morning glories. Not sure if the white orbs around it are eggs. Also I wonder if the grasshopper stays in it at night when it closes?

Also, the baby mantis in my fuschias continues to do well. They were shaking their abdomen, probably trying to molt still.

[ID: photo focused on a hand with a tiny baby mantis perched on one finger. The mantis is dark brown and facing to the right with its raptorials held forward. The background is blurry and features grass and pavement. End ID.]

Two nymphs and two adults, just kinda wanted to match up the colors here. All these were spotted at completely different times and locations. I'm not well versed in this yet but if I had to guess I'd say the tan adult on the left is a male and the green adult on the right, might, be a lady?
