Yesterday I found dozens of these grasshoppers decimating one of my roses, took photos and then sprayed them. RIP little ones.
In grasshoppers, the auditory organs are in a rather unusual location, on the abdomen. On each side of the first abdominal segment, tucked under the wings, you'll find membranes that vibrate in response to sound waves. This simple eardrum, called a tympana, allows the grasshopper to hear the songs of its fellow grasshoppers.
A grasshopper from Griffith NSW. According to iNaturalist, it’s a slender Gum Leaf Grasshopper, Goniaea vocans. I was out early in the morning and as I was walking through the grass, this guy sprung into view. The sky gave a nice contrast against its orangey-tan tones. ———————————————Single outdoor handheld shot, with an Olympus em5 mkii, 60mm M.Zuiko lens. Godox V350o Flash. F11, iso 200, shutter 1/100.

We heard the recognisable 'song' of a male grasshopper as we walked through the garden and soon located this pair in the long grass. The male is below the female and neither moved when my wife moved the long grass to give a view for the photographer.
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.
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.
Even the tiny grasshopper moves with a hope. Hope that
the next hop will make it land on a grass which is better
than the grass on which it is currently sitting.

An early morning visitor to the garden of the Villa nr Loule, Algarve. A very obliging Macro subject.
About 3 weeks after I saw the creamy-colored nymph, I found this grasshopper today, same bush. It's huge. If it's not the developed version of the first post, it must be a look-alike cousin. Poor thing - got flushed out again with the garden hose with some intent, although the plant needed a dousing in preparation for the record-setting heat of today (115 degrees). Besides the face only a mother could love, the wings are pretty neat viewed large.
I took this on my cell phone :) I was in his face! I took 2 shots before he jumped away and scared me lol
I think this is a Common Green Grasshopper. I spotted this one land conveniently in the open on this stick which made it relatively easy to get a couple of shots.
Not sure if I wasn't paying attention most of this summer or what, but today was the first time I came across / seen a Grasshopper.

At Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary this fall, the number of grasshoppers is just staggering. Visiting migrants will have an ample food supply as they pass through. This guy was pretty well camouflaged on this speckled grass blade.
Grasshopper pump (also called pumpjack, oil horse, donkey pumper, nodding donkey, pumping unit, horsehead pump, rocking horse, beam pump, dinosaur)
These were scattered throughout Wyoming with their coal and oil industry and just could not let one go by. I also have a photo of one from my California trip which I will post Thursday - It has a most unusual location.

Not sure about identity but my best estimate is a female Eastern Toothed Bermius (Bermius odontocerus) by appearance. However, my home is a few hundred metres from the particular preferred creek habitat. Over to the expert field naturalists at this point ...
