Dad was brave and took this close-up picture of this HUGE grasshopper. I love it.
He was WALKING across our deck ever so slowly. We giggled to watch him.
I love how we can see all his parts. This is a perfect specimen to draw and label.
Isn’t he beautiful?
Here’s another humongous grasshopper.
For some reason, the kids thought he needed a house in my Gladware.
Fingers by him for size perspective.
Alex was ready to BOLT if that sucker came any closer.
He’s still nervous around bugs and this was a rather big guy.
