Grasshopper

Just grasshopper. I don't think I'll try figuring out what sort of grasshopper this one is. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a grasshopper.

Bigfoot?

Common Buckeye Butterfly

As this brownish butterfly flooples* by, it may appear rather drab and colorless. BUT, if it alights somewhere and opens its wings, you can see how truly bright and showy it looks.

Eastern Tailed-Blue Butterfly

My best guess is that this is an Eastern Tailed-Blue Butterfly, which are found in this region and seems to match the description.

This is a softly shimmering blue little butterfly that I've seen flying in the farm field.
