Grasshopper on Fern ~ My patio "pet" grasshopper keeps growing and shows up every day or so when I water the plants. When he hops into a position to photograph, I grab my camera and try for a few new shots.
Grasshopper ~ I posted a photograph of this green grasshopper that I had taken on 7/27/13, in my little patio. I hadn't seen it again until today, 8/15/13, 19 days later. I was amazed by how much it had grown, perhaps from one inch to almost two inches in that time. Viewed in larger sizes, the texture and markings on this little guy are more noticeable.
Grasshopper Green ~ This little grasshopper showed up in my patio recently. The first time I saw it, it was about one-half inch long. Each day when I went out to water my plants, it would hop up out of the way of the water. By now it has grown to about an inch, so I decided to photograph it. It blends in very well with the green leaves of my plants.
