This Grasshopper didn't mind at all, when I got close with the camera.
The color is very unique, usually they are green in color.
Hope Ya'll like it. Gasssman.
Not sure of the ID of this one.
Possibly a Field grasshopper ?
The ' clubs ' on the ends of the antenna are confusing me.
A male grasshopper warbler 'reeling' - singing its extraordinary song; a sound (to our ears at least) like an enormous insect.

A grasshopper on sandstone. Nottinghamshire, UK. From a quick bit of online research, I believe it is a Field Grasshopper (Chorthippus brunneus), but if anyone knows better, please let me know! :)
I followed him for a while before he finally consented to a few portraits.
If you're in Oregon, or have photos of insects that were taken in Oregon, I would love for you to join the "Oregon Insects" group!

Good morning everyone. Presented today for your viewing pleasure is the Differential Grasshopper (Melanoplus differentialis). The 4th in a series of different grasshoppers photographed this past year. After the Red-legged Grasshopper, it is the most common grasshopper found here locally, and this past season the numbers I saw of Differentials was up significantly from prior years.
Of all the grasshoppers found locally the Differential tends to be the most photogenic. Quite handsome for a grasshopper plus it tends not to be as flighty and as a result more co-operative when it comes to having its picture taken.
As for the above photo, this rather large female is perched on Boneset. And as with all grasshoppers, females are typically larger than males. The yellowish background is created by Goldenrod.
As always, don't forget to click on "view previous comments" if you don't see the additional photos in the comment section. Even better, scroll to them by clicking on the arrow thingy to the right of the above pic. And if you want to any pic in the comment section large all you have to do is click on it where you'll also find the complete narrative describing this species of grasshopper.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you are having a truly great week.

These sweethearts are so hard to photograph: they're hardly visible and if you do see them, they hop to another blade of grass. That's probably why we call them "grasshoppers". :-))
This is the small meadow grasshopper: 1.5 – 2 cm.

I was scanning these flowers on the Savanna Meadow Trail at the Wildflower Center when I thought I saw some motion in one. Looking through the macro lens I was surprised to see this tiny grasshopper. The flower was maybe 2 cm, a little less than an inch in diameter. I assume this is a youngster, not a very small species, but I don't know for sure. Could be a nymph of Melanoplus sp. I've never seen a grasshopper perched in a flower like this before...

Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
A grasshopper got lost ending up in our living room. So I used the opportunity to take some pictures before it was released into the yard again. I did not bother looking up the species though. Therefore, any pointers are welcome ;-)
Mating grasshoppers - Majorcan field - Maria-de-la-Salut close by.
Posed wonderfully and I ushered them into the undergrowth afterwards.
I now have the feeling they could be locusts.
Assumption Chapel in Cold Spring, Minnesota also known as the Grasshopper Chapel. The chapel was built in less than a month in 1877 and credited for relieving a years long grasshopper infestation in Minnesota.
I loved this cute little grasshopper so I added a bit of processing from Deep Dream. deepdreamgenerator.com
Grasshopper Sparrow can be seen in most of the continental USA as well as some areas of southern Canada, and south into Mexico and Central America. As with many open country sparrow species, it is usually difficult to see although during breeding season these birds perch in the open to sing. “The primary male song, a high trill preceded by a stereotyped series of short chips, is reminiscent of the sounds of grasshoppers and is the origin of this species' name.” (Wikipedia)
This individual was in Grasslands National Park in southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada.
