Another 'hopper

Didn't take any photos all day so on my way home from a friend's, I pulled in on a lane to think about it and heard grasshoppers next to me, so spent 15 minutes on my knees amongst them! I held a one legged one for a while, but didn't manage a shot of it (second one I've found recently minus a leg).
Aw pretty. I do hope they can survive being one leg short.

@fueast yes I think they can, they can still eat, hop and stridulate.
