I thought grasshoppers were green but this little guy looked and acted like a grasshopper. Can anyone confirm what he is? His legs are part red and he has a yellow stripe down his back - maybe he is a coward grasshopper!!
Beautiful shot. It's amazing how colorful these insects are when you get close and personal. I found a website that says it is a horse lubber grasshopper. It's called a "horse" because the yellow goes around the head of the grasshopper like a horse's bridle.
Learned something here - I didn't know grasshoppers came in different colors... Good picture!
