The grasshoppers were congregating in an area covered with gravel adjacent to the creek. The ground was hot and many grasshoppers chose to sit on a rock or stick.

A grasshopper walked into a bar. The bartender said to him, "Hey! we have a drink named after you". The grasshopper looked at him quizzically and asked, "You have a drink named Harold"?

The grasshopper is an insect of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish it from bush crickets or katydids, it is sometimes referred to as the short-horned grasshopper. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
I managed to get one shot of the Grasshopper before it went bounding off to hide behind a blade of grass.
This is on the footpath between the canal towpath and the canal bridge near the motorway bridge.

There are around 50 types of Grasshoppers in the Western Ghat range of mountains. This particular one (could not ID) was very shy - everytime I set my tripod and focus, it would adjust its body to hide behind the stem. This was at a very low level, so after a few attempts, I just gave up and left it in peace.
If someone can ID, it would be great.
Grasshopper Sparrow looks out across an overgrown field. A place affectionately referred to as "recession acres", it's a failed housing community that went under during the first housing bubble. There are roads but no buildings, and the place is mowed once a year; forming a beautiful shortgrass prairie. The place is alive with grassland species. Unfortunately, this is probably the last year for this space. All the plots have been sold, and buildings and new roads are going in.
