So, the beetles were gettin' busy and the grasshopper was all alone. He was sucking on this bud for a looooong time. Unfortunately it was kinda windy and hard to get a good shot. He's so pretty!

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 short-horned grasshoppers. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
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.
After another slow lunch at the same place as the previous day we visited an area about 5 km east of Urtsadzazor village. At both this and another close by area near a fortress butterflies were scarce.
This is either a grasshopper or related insect such as a locust. It is quite large but only the lack of butterflies got me to spend time with it.
