That is a tiny grasshopper, well done for getting some shots of it. We have some little ones in the grass in the summer but they are fast and difficult to shoot, our cat loves chasing them. That is a very pretty yellow flower, looks like a succulent.

Hi Brenda, That little fella led me on a merry chase, he could jump in any direction and wasnt keen on my camera.We have a group of Magpies that warble outside our back door for a treat the grasshopper was lucky to survive. The yellow flower is a Portulacca, they have some lovely colours and put on a great show in our summer. That is a tiny grasshopper, well done for getting some shots of it.

That is one of the slant-faced grasshoppers, and it sure is a cutie!
Ground beetles (Carabidae) are a huge family, but maybe that beastie is in or near the genus http://bugguide.net/node/view/127442/bgpage>Cyclotrachelus
