Not sure but with all that green, I suspect it's a Meadow Grasshopper! Also its location ... in short grasses.
There are also lots of field grasshoppers, leaping around as we walk the paths through the mown pathways!
The Meadow Grasshopper is mostly green in colour, with a dark grey-brown stripe running across the flank to the eye, but brown and purplish forms also occur. It has short forewings that do not reach to the end of its abdomen and are particularly short in females. It is similar to the Field Grasshopper, but without the 'hairy chest'. Best identified by its song, which is a regular 'rrrr' sound.
Thanks to David_W_1971 for confirmation of ID 😄
Picture 1 of 5
I only had 5 seconds to take this picture when he suprisingly landed on this fence! (something one wouldn't normally expect) Thankfully, I somehow managed it!!!
I found this grasshopper in the wild field. It was just sloughed off, with beautiful green color...
I made a few shots, but in many of them light looks too harsh for me, because it was very sunny day. But this one I made by using flash with home-made flash diffuser.
I was without tripod, so I needed to carry camera in the right and flash with diffuser in the left hand. ( Try to imagine how I looked like ;)...)
But, despite too small sharpness zone and strange composition I think I got something :)
I took this shot with CanonEOS40D photo camera + CanonEF100mmMacroUSM lens.
Please have a view of full size photo to see better quality (must see):

I hope you will like it...
P.S If you invite me to the group please comment also, please say what's wrong with the photos (Colors, sharpness etc...)
Thanks :)
I was afraid this very large grasshopper--one of the largest I have ever seen--would fly when I got into position to take its photo against the brown of the cattail, but it let me get the shot.
I went out to get the mail tonight and found this little guy in my yard. Grasshoppers have the weirdest looking eyes. He was quite small. Out front, a few years ago, I planted a Weeping Cherry tree as a memorial tree on my parents heavenly anniversary. There is a memorial stone at the bottom of the tree in the grass with a light on it. I went to trim a couple of the branches that were blocking the stone and this guy was hanging on it.
One of my favourite birds. All these so called 'birders' who're only interested in photographing raptors, if I had the choice between birds of prey and song birds, I would chose song birds every time. I mean come on, check out that sound, what a beautiful addition to the countryside.
A grasshopper that I caught in our front garden. This was photo was created using a focus stack of 84 photos taken using a Schneider f2.8 40mm APO lens reverse mounted using bellows. Lighting was from a diffused flash.
Green grasshopper! 💚 Anyone else anticipating the Peakswoods Halloween event? It starts the 23rd, I hope they have an order period for their mini sized girls in the colored resin, they haven't had an order period since a year ago when I ordered Grasshopper here. They really have become one of my top favorite types of dolls.
The GRASSHOPPER is a small, fast, one man buggy designed to negotiate hilly terrain. Unless covered by insurance, please do not select this option when delivering fragile items.

I think this is most likely a third or fourth instar two-striped grasshopper (Melanoplus bivittatus). Backyard macro.

This grasshopper was on a chair on my deck the last few days. I took 50 shots and combined them in software to get this much depth of field. Being this close with a macro lens means the DOF is very shallow. Plus, this image was only cropped slightly - the original is around 7000 x 5000 pixels! Amazingly, the only thing he moved during these 50 shots (which go off quite rapidly) was his one antenna, which didn't resolve in the shot! My lens was less than 3 inches from him!
Grasshoppers are species which change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called Grasshoppers the typical insect body of head, thorax and abdomen. The head is held vertically, at an angle to the body with the mouth at the bottom. It bears a large pair of compound eyes which give all-round vision, three simple eyes which can detect light and dark and a pair of antennae which are sensitive to touch and smell. The downward-directed mouthparts are modified for chewing and there are two sensory palps in front of the jaws.
Picture this: Out pleasantly gardening with my husband on a Sunday morning. Sudden screams of "A bug! A bug!" , from me. Run inside as fast as possible. Change the lens on my camera and return outside. Follow the grasshopper around for 15 minutes, trying to convince it to let me get a good photo. Poor bug runs away; I pick it back up and put it on the plant. Repeat as necessary.
So here is the first grasshopper of the season, for all to "enjoy". By the way, I really do like insects :-D
