A big thanks to her for letting me stalk small game in her garden for hours on end. :-)
I don't know if this is a grasshopper or a locust or what, but it was the biggest one I've ever seen in my life.

The grasshopper is the crest above Thomas Gresham's coat of arms. It is used by Gresham College, which he founded, and can also be seen as the weathervane on the Royal Exchange in the City of London, which he also founded in 1565.
According to an ancient legend of the Greshams, the founder of the family, Roger de Gresham, was a foundling abandoned as a new-born baby in long grass in North Norfolk in the 13th century and found there by a woman whose attention was drawn to the child by a grasshopper. A beautiful story, it is more likely that the grasshopper is simply an heraldic rebus on the name Gresham, with gres being a Middle English form of grass (Old English grœs).

This grasshopper was seen by me at an Audubon Society centre which was relatively recently visited by The Uncle and me, and we were capable of well photographing no birds who were present, as a result of their proximity, but I was capable of photographing two (2) other animals which were present. While I was stationary, I noticed that some twigs which were resting on the ground were slightly moving, then crouched to identify the source of the movement, and became aware of the presence of a miniscule grasshopper. Because I am more capable of moving than The Uncle is, I did not alert him of this, but I did move backward, focussed somewhat poorly on his face, and captured verification of the existence of this small grasshopper. I stated that my focussing on him was executed rather poorly because the compound eye of the grasshopper is not the focal point; his mandibles are. Regardless of the lousy focussing, the pose of this grasshopper is found by me to be of a rather amusing nature, almost being adored.
As always, constructive criticism pertaining to this photograph, my writing, or any of my other photographs would be joyfully received by me, because I rather strongly wish to improve the quality of my photography. The sugar-coating of criticism directed at my creations, or even me as a person, is unnecessary, and it often simply causes the man who criticised my work to appear to have been uncertain about the legitimacy of the criticism which he gave to me. Although I attempt to extract everything which is beneficial for me from every situation in which I am involved, the lack of confidence which is displayed by those who vigorously attempt to remove any offensiveness from their criticisms leads to my suspicion of the lack of advice which would affect my creations positively. Please verbosely explain to me any flaws which are present in this photograph and were directly caused by me, e.g., clipping highlights or shadows, if they are noticed.
Orthoptera > Acrididae. Unfortunately grasshoppers are not my specialty lol T____T No idea what it is, drives me crazy for not being able to find any info on it

This little guy was making his way up the screen earlier today. I couldn't get a good focus on him, though. Rats.
Went to check the lower meadow for Odes....quite a challenge to get through the brambles and tearthumb. Every step sent a grasshopper flying away....managed to follow this one for a picture.
