Poor Grasshopper! by rickster549

Poor Grasshopper!

Didn't notice when I was taking the picture, but this little fellow only has one of his jumping legs. Didn't stay around long enough to see if it was able to jump or not.
When I started photographing insects, I was surprised at how beat up many of them are, with missing parts, etc. Makes you realize it's not easy for them out there.

Amen to Anne's comment - must be a tough world - I'm always amazed that some butterflies can even fly. Love this guy's eyes.

ouch, losing a leg and healing a-la-natural can't be fun!

@annepann @milaniet @koalagardens Thanks Anne, Milanie and KG. Yeah, I'm so surprised with some of the dragon flies. Don't see how they can fly with those damaged wings.
