During my afternoon walk today I came across this grasshopper doing an important civil service to us all, pollination. He is so cute. I’m glad I brought my macro lens along.
I love grasshopers. When I was a kid I used to catch them with my curve palms. And let them go and catch them again. Do you like grasshoppers?

Now that’s the fun part. Just not on my mouth.

Yes, I like them. I was always unable to catch one.

Ahahah it takes practice. They usually jump in a straight line. So you create a disturbance in the grass and they will jump in from of you heading the opposite direction of your foot step.

I used to do the same thing when I was a kid. I vividly remember my brother and I chasing and catching grasshoppers in our yard. We too would let them go after we caught them.

Yes, we eat them. They're rich in protein. I am not referring to ordinary grasshoppers but those that are edible.

@beachbabe26 Yeah this one is really big I didn’t even need a lens to capture it.
