What kind of animal is that?
The little animal is in a plastic box (which has been used to catch many insects and bring them back outside, which is why it's a bit pale😅) which is why the photos are a bit blurry.
The insect has been lurking in my room since the day before yesterday. Now, worried that it might starve to death, I've caught it and brought it back outside. But what exactly is it?
Looks kind of cute. Additional description to accompany the photos: Long antennae, light green, almost white/transparent body with a white "line" horizontally down the back, a curved "spine" at the end. I don't see any wings. 2 cm long. What is this? 🙂

You’re welcome
Looks strong for a small grasshopper who is not yet adult.
So a little grasshopper baby. 😄
But I’m not 100% sure.
Namaste 🙏
Edit: Well a Common oak scarf
It’s a mean oak scare.
Have a link in the answer.
That’s right, it looks like that! Even if I didn’t feel them as mean…
I even mean recognizing the facial structure is clean :3
Thanks for the answer!
😂
The “common” in animal species and also plant species is not to be understood as such. This is derived from the Latin.
To explain this in detail, I’d have to pick up a lot now.
In short, this “mean” in principle simply means that it is an originally occurring type, that is to say to be almost identical with “real”.
Then there are subspecies that do not have the name “mean” etc.
Hopefully, this has been well described in the rough. 😅
Yes, I’ve already arrived. 😄
Therefore also the Smiley right at the beginning. 😅
I often don’t feel that easy to get over by text. But I had to laugh about it. 😄
Oh, okay, yes, the info might be valuable for those who read this. 😝 I am happy to read, thank you. 😊
I guess my joke just stumbled past you. I know this is a sort of name in the rough. But thank you for your answer, which makes you very friendly and helpful. :
If he wears a cylinder, he’s called Flip.
😂😂😂
I could try to put him on one. Only need a shrink radiator for the cylinder and a written consent of the insect 🙂
