Grasshopper
Frankfurter Zoo
Die Riesenheuschrecke gehört zu den weltweit größten und schwersten Heuschrecken. Ihre Flügelspannweite kann bis zu 25cm betragen und geben im Flug den bunten Hinterleib frei. Die Männchen sind etwas kleiner als die Weibchen.
I found this grasshopper on my lawn last weekend while I was trimming hedges. I thought what a better opportunity for a macro shot! So, like a kid, I caught the grasshopper in my hand and transferred him to the lid of my trash can. Got the camera, and started snapping away! I must say, the grasshopper was very cooperative during the photo shoot. At the end, I put the bug back on the lawn and he buzzed away. These insects have a very mechanical look about them! View large for best details.
Thanks to all who view, fav, and comment on my images. It is very much appreciated!
Enjoy the weekend~!

I’ve learnt to gather simplicity from grasshoppers. I like their naive indecisive minds never knowing exactly when to stop chirping, and I envy their ability to be able to mingle with the green.

While at the allotment today I noticed a lot of movement in the grass. The place was alive with grasshoppers.
