This large grasshopper watched cautiously as I captured her image. The grasshopper is so heavy with eggs that it was difficult for her to jump let alone fly.
We very rarely see them around here, and the ones we have are very small indeed. This is just beautiful, yours is only the second one like this I have ever seen.. my eye are now wide open to them and I'm off to Google to learn more.
I'm a little scared of grasshoppers myself. Not because they are really scary, but because they can jump out at you from nowhere and really catch you off guard. I really like this shot!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate the visits and comments as long as the comments are respectful of others views and contain no profanity.
Wow, a pregnant one!
ReplyDeleteNice detail.
I have to smile at this because my daughter is scared silly of grasshoppers. Why, I'm not really sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
