Grasshopper

Posted by Helen (Albuquerque, United States) on 19 August 2008 in Animal & Insect.

Given all the rain we have had here the vegetation is trying very hard to overtake the backyard. Yesterday I had some time and was cutting back a bush that had over night become a tree and this grasshopper was living it. He seemed a bit annoyed that I cut down his new condo but he quickly moved on to the condo next door.

He was kind enough to pose for a few photos before moving on!
