There were grasshoppers all over the dry pasture I was exploring on July 4th. I never realized this one was missing a hind leg until processing the shot. Seems even in 100+ weather, full sun and in the middle of a drought, grasshoppers thrive.

Hollyhock leaves with holes eaten in them and Katydids missing a hind leg...it was just one of those days in the gardens. This one-hind-legged Katydid surely had a great and gory story to tell, but she didn't seem to be at all incapacitated by her injury. She leaped over my head shortly after I took this. >8}
So I saw this dude from afar, and then took a closer look and realized he was missing one leg. It was hard to focus on him because he was tiny(quarter of an inch), green and on green, and in a hard-to-reach spot. I got to him and pointed the camera at him, the camera focused, and it took the shot. I wanted to get closer to snap another shot, but then this fly flew into my arm. I jerked my arm and this little guy moved. :-( On the brighter side, I got a few good ones of the fly which you'll see tomorrow.
I like the composition on this shot and the greens on greens. Plus, the little guy's eye looks cool, and he's missing a leg.

I found this in the corner of my lounge when cleaning. Thought it might make an interesting subject!
Not sure what happened here. The spider is missing a leg and floating in water. Looks like it lost a battle but it wasn't anyone's lunch by the looks of things. I don't know what kind of spider it is but it's definitely a big one!
This poor toad lost one of his legs, but we are not sure how. He was found at a near by pond and got to get his photo taken.
Unfortunately for this little dude, looks like one of the local birds snacked on his right leg for breakfast. I didn't zoom the camera for this shot; he just sat there as I crept closer and closer. He did awkwardly hop away afterwards, but I can't imagine he'll last long out there missing half his rear propulsion. Such is the ebb and flow of nature. Death for this little dude and one more tasty crunchy snack for the scrub jay chillin' in that ficus tree over yonder.
