I decided to paint something a bit different last night. I did this from a photograph I took in the Kansas Flint Hills a week or so ago. This was one of the biggest grasshoppers I think I have ever seen.
I just wanted to paint something different from what I normally do. Watercolor on Arches 140 lb. CP.
The Grasshopper is next to where I work. It is one of the biggest and best known "coffeshops" in Amsterdam. Selling green leaves, but you can actually get a good coffee too.Most of the time it's stoned and drunk Brits & Italians though, 10 o'clock in the morning ..
Took this photo in my backyard! He was hiding in a tree! Enjoy :)
Also I made a logo tell me if you like it in the comments :)

A distinctive look but so far I have not found a match.

I'm only assuming this is a Grasshopper due to the short antennae. But, it does look more Cricket like.
One of the many bugs rescued from the pool whilst on holiday. They soon dried out and hopped off!
This grasshopper sat around and posed for the camera and then in less than a blink of the eye .... Gone! I know not where lol! HBBBT ;0)

Grasshopper sparrow checking out the large, strange flightless bird in front of it making clicking sounds.
"Grasshopper Hangout" - All throughout the fields of the wild, these handsome and daring jumpers can be found basking in the warm light. I cannot help but to stop and hang out with them. He did not seem to mind and even extended me a feeler.
The third photo from the "Radiance" series.
I usually do not do Macro and close-ups, but this green monster is hard to resist. I played with the colours and contrast in photoshop. The frightened bokeh lady in the back ground is Annette (we do not have many big insects in Sweden), Otterbäcken, Sweden. :)

Grasshopper warbler (Locustella naevia)
Meaning behind the name:
Locustella = Latin referring to a form of Grasshopper (named by it's Grasshopper type reeling song)
naevia = Latin meaning "Spotted, marked, blemish" (refers to it's spotted underparts)
The English name was formerly "Titlark" and saying that "the bird sings like a Grasshopper" in 1678 before it was adapted to "Grasshopper lark" in 1768 and extended this further with "warbler" in 1773-1776 till finally as "Grasshopper warbler" 1783.

This picture required great patience, as often with these birds, they tend to stay well hidden. However, this one popped out briefly right in front of me, giving me this opportunity. My policy is to avoid putting myself in a position that would risk any kind of disturbance, as I love to be an example to others and this worked wonders to get this picture. But even on this point, I'm still learning.... as I found out when a small mound had just resting mallard ducks well hidden and woke up...
