This grasshopper was happily chirping away in the grass until I came along and shoved a lens in his face! He looks a bit cross don't you think?!
I do not know what it grows into, but one thing I know is that a younger one will have a brighter red. A first for me.

I was sitting on a bench at the park during lunch when I caught him looking at me. The two eyelike black dots were superb cute, following me madly in circles when I tilted my head to adjust the camera. Obviously, this adorable grasshopper is smitten with me.
Grasshopper Sparrow. Prospect Park, Kings County (Brooklyn) , NY. 11/03/12. Photo by Doug Gochfeld.
Seen much less than annually in the borough (county).
Seen at the Falls of the Ohio state park in Indiana. My favorite feature was the markings along the back leg, which almost looks like tire tread.
