I spotted this grasshopper on a distant wall yesterday and scurried in for my camera.
He was about 2 to 3 inches long, a huge hopper.
He waited patiently for me to finish photographing him.
I used my photo editor to rotate the above picture to give you a better look at this rascal whose family dates back 250 million years, the oldest living chewing herbivores.
He appears to be a well-armored fighting machine.
Brrrrrr.
