Ah, that's for sure: males sing ("stridulent") to ensure offspring: they attract mates!

PS: Namely that they "shave" the vegetation in front of their burrow. Maybe to make it "clean"? Did he learn that from the man? At home, in the greenhouse, I sometimes observe a meter of such and such a vegetable which does not "rise" (I even filmed it in a video - but I don't know which one!). In fact, it lifts but is shaved. Ditto, I observed how he climbs on a seedling plate and beheads me a cabbage that had just emerged. Dead. The cabbage ! So in the greenhouse, if I could, I would do without! But I can't, so I "support" !!!

The crickets must seek a little more heat in the greenhouse? I also discovered that these are real thermometers ...
In the high meadow, their holes are difficult to locate. Not beware of "damage" in the grass around?

This one seemed to strike a pose in its altitude meadow yesterday, faster to grow than the grass still crushed by recent snow.

Down in the valley, the farmers are making hay and it's the mower concert in the neighborhood as every time it rains ...
Here is a big purple, all alone in my private hairdresser meadow.

Orchis pyramimidalis, an orchid which imitates the bee to better attract it.
The plant does not have nectar, the attraction of butterflies for the latter is therefore a decoy https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchis_pyramidal

Thank you for these links, I was a little worried about a flower "planted by the neighbor", but no ... great.

Wild orchids, very special plants that need a fungus for the seed to germinate! They are symbiotic before their birth!

You have to believe that she had this fungus.

Another basic remark on the meadow: its movement!
Unlike a "static" lawn, the tall grass undulates with the air currents, a permanent animation.

Surely !

This is the reason why orchids are always confined to very specific places.

And that it is useless to tear it off to replant it at home: assured death.

So we have a lot of those that grow elsewhere a little anywhere.

But from memory I recovered and replanted at least one and it seems to me that it has bloomed again .... BUT not far from a place where there were already in the garden, very close to an oak marker (if not a truffle).

So maybe good ground.

What is curious is that we find it at the same time in the tall grass at the edge of the path (currently in flower) by pouring a sloping path in a bare earth, in a p ..... of infamous clay and whitish .... finally in lots of very diverse and varied corners.
I will try to take pictures of all this.
