Grasshoppers are a group of insects belonging to the suborder Caelifera. They are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic around 250 million years ago.

 

Grasshoppers are typically ground-dwelling insects with powerful hind legs which allow them to escape from threats by leaping vigorously. Their front leg is shorter and used for grasping food. As hemimetabolous insects, they do not undergo complete metamorphosis; they hatch from an egg into a nymph or "hopper" which undergoes five moults, becoming more similar to the adult insect at each developmental stage.

This little Pyrrhopyge charybdis caterpillar came to me by accident, hitching a ride on a plant. With bad weather and few green spaces nearby, I kept it safe at home for a few days, then finally released it in a more welcoming spot where it could thrive.

Not the best photo — high ISO and little detail due to the rainy day and dim morning light.
