Dirty dirty grasshoppers! Can you see all that dust?
Hey. Check out what Scienceray has to say about this photo. *blush*
A grasshopper which my bengal cat thankfully didn't notice (as he loves to chase and play with them).
Grasshopper on my light post. It was missing a back leg...so i felt like he may not want a full body shot
:(
This large, colorful grasshopper was in a marshy area along the James River across from Newport News in Virginia. I would appreciate any identification help. I think it might be the Spotted Bird Grasshopper, Schistocera lineata.

Look at this beauty! He/she was helping me water the flowers. They're not scared of humans and often surprise you when you walk through long grass. They have wings but can't fly very far - more like a wing-assisted jump. Towards the end of summer they have a yellowy-brown colour.

Disturbed while I was gardening today.
The best I could do with a point and shoot in a breeze,
I shall be most grateful for an ID!

The northern grasshopper can leap 20 times the length of his body. There are more than 20,000 species of grasshoppers. They have no ears, but they do hear with an organ called tympanum. When grasshoppers are picked up, they “spit” a brown liquid commonly called “tobacco juice.” Scientists believe this liquid may protect them from attacks by predators. Males sing, by rubbing their back legs against their wings, to attract females and to warn off other males. Some species, called locusts, will gather by the billions and eat everything in their way.
