Grasshopper & Lightpole

I found this grasshopper on a light pole during our first discussion class, I’m not sure why the grasshopper liked the pole so much because it was there for quite a while. The photo demonstrates that organisms adapt to their ever-changing environment, the grasshopper has learned to consider the light pole as part of its ecosystem and is maybe using it to gain a better vantage point rather than being in the grass out in the open. With the number of students around the grass is dangerous and thus the grasshopper has increased its chances of survival and is most definitely not going to get stepped on.
