Ready to Jump - _TNY_9620

Young grasshoppers pass through several larval or nymph stages during which they almost look like adult grasshoppers but with a distinct difference - they lack wings. Compare the wings on this one to the short stumps on the nymph I took a photo of right after this, about 50 cm to the right: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48433697436/
