Admirable Grasshopper by cjwhite

Admirable Grasshopper

This is the actual name of the grasshopper. It's also called a Handsome Grasshopper. I've been seeing them for a couple of days, but couldn't get a decent pic. This one is a male. I've seen the females, but didn't know they were the same kind. They're green and brown.

Thank you so much for your views, comments, and faves on my recent pics!!! I'm doing a post and run today. My daughters and I are having a Girl's Night Out. We're going to eat out and to a movie. I'm really looking forward to it! It's very rare for just the three of us to go out. :0)
Wonderful focus!

You are a true nature photographer.. I'm amazed at how many insects you are able to find and get such sharp pictures of them. Excellent.

Interesting! We had a striking brown and white grasshopper on the playground, but of course my camera was inside the school. Not sure if it was the same. Enjoy your girls night out!

Admirable indeed. . .he is grand. I have to admit I'm not fond of them. . .I usually run in the other direction - there's always the worry that they'll jump right AT me!
