Good camo on the frogs. I hope they don't get trodden on. Strange hopper, I looked for ID but could not find anything similar without back legs. I wonder if it is possible that he had lost them.

Yes, eyes like little marbles. I am still looking, his head is so like a grass hopper/locust.

Nice set. I think the hopper has a rear leg on the far side.

It has one back leg on the other side. You can see where the other leg was attached on the side close to you. This is in the Family Tetrigidae - Pygmy Grasshoppers. The pronotum extend over the abdomen. They cannot fly like many other grasshoppers.
