If You Saw The Look on This Grasshopper's Face 🌀 You'd Photograph it Too

in #nature7 years ago



You ever seen a baby make that face, swiftly followed by first hand knowledge of her deed? Well, this wasn't as much of an affront, but somehow I knew this grasshopper needed to be photographed...















Any entomologists out there know if rather than a pellet, that was actually an egg? Aren't those rear end "flaps" called ovipositors?



(The photos are my own, the video is from MovieCarScene, and the nymph to adult grasshopper diagram is from Wikipedia.)



Thanks For Your Attention and Support!

Great to see you posting again.. but how many times you gotta post the “grasshopper”

Lol! Look closely!

As a father that has changed many a diaper, I think I know what the face is all about lol.

The camouflage of the grasshopper is phenomenal!

Good to see you posting!

You got 5 seconds to clear the room when you see the face!

I only noticed the hopper when she hopped by me, no way I'd have seen her otherwise.

Thanks a lot! I'm working on being around more :)
