"BRING ON THE FLOWERS!"

I can almost guarantee that is what this guy is thinking.
I don't know what he is surviving on right now, my garden is bare, but I think
soon I'll have to check Ebay to see if they have any saddles for grasshoppers! He is huge.

I won't be posting or commenting for a few days....have a wonderful weekend!

This conjured up a memeory of me and my grandma (my bestest friend who died in 2001)...we were walking along the ashpalt street (i was maybe 10) in the hot summer, when we happened along a HUGE grasshopper such as this. She stepped on it with all intent and no warning..."SQUISH"!!! I'll never forget the sound. It made me nauseaus. This is an excellent capture, Petesie. Wishing you a fantastic weekend!

HUGE Petesie. Like he's looking at your house for dinner.
Have a great weekend.

Very detailed and sharp shot Petesie.

Nice shot. A Schistocera sp. Probably overwintered as a last instar nymph and has moulted to the adult. He (she?) looks "new".
