I took a few shots at this grasshopper when I found him sitting on my back porch. Later I found him on the table on the back porch. It was difficult to get a head on shot without him wanting to turn away.

a baby grasshopper hopping over the grass to eat our organic hop plants at Half Hill Farm. The birds are doing a great job keeping them in check for now, so we're sparing them the diatomaceous earth cannon treatment which would also kill our aphid-eating ladybugs.

Grasshopper's exoskeleton after molting_CEC_2015 08 09 by Shubhada Nikharge

As the grasshopper grows it sheds its hard outer layer (exoskeleton) because its solid exoskeleton cannot grow larger. This process is called molting. Most grasshoppers molt about 5 times.

Before the molting process beings the grasshopper becomes less active and does not eat. When a nymph is ready to molt, it climbs onto a leaf or a branch or even hangs upside down. Slowly, the nymph slides out of its old exoskeleton. Underneath, the nymph has a new, soft exoskeleton. The nymph puffs up with air. This makes its body bigger while the new exoskeleton hardens. Now the nymph has room to grow until the next molt.
