Never really been interested in photographing insects other than butterflies and dragonflies (sometimes). But while i am growing a bigger interest in butterflies i begin appreciating photographing other insects aswell. yesterday for example i photographed this grasshopper, it might not be the best image but i like it for a first trial and error attempt.
This insect has grasshopper-like legs but an unusual face. Seen in Manly Dam, th eimage is rotared 90 degrees as it was clutching a vertical blade of grass.
The Obscure Pygmy Grasshopper (Tetrix arenosa) over winters as an adult. This is normal for Pygmy Grasshoppers (family Tetrigidae) but for most other grasshoppers winter is spent as eggs. Savage Park, Maryland
Photo taken at Lake Georgetown in Georgetown, Texas in June 2012. The grasshopper is perched on a common mullein.
Grasshoppers of the genus Tropidacris are the largest known. They are colorful insects with especially bright-colored wings having a most attractive color-pattern. Most species are relatively common, and sometimes they become abundant and destructive to crops in the American Tropics.
They are found throughout South America, from Colombia to Argentina, in a variety of habitats, from humid tropical rainforests to dry arid grasslands.

A very calm and friendly grasshopper posing for the camera. I was shooting the little buddy for more than a few minutes and it didn't move at all despite the macro lens being so close
Grasshopper Sparrow
Calverton, LI, NY
These are declining on Long Island, but I took a ride over to Calverton's EPCAL area, a deserted Grumman Naval facility. Now there are ample grasslands for this species to thrive. Like most stories on this populated island, the Town and the environmentalists are continually battling over the future of this land. Let's hope it stays this way for generations to come.
I'm sorry for not responding and commenting on many of your great photos recently. I'm in the midst of moving, but I'm still trying to get some posts up from my weekend away.
This grasshopper was found on a bush down in the riverbed of the Llano River. He/She would never give me a clear view in the sunlight. I was drawn to the color and texture of the grasshoppers body and legs.
