Doesn't he look like he's wearing a suit of armor?
Or, is it just me and my issues?

I love grasshoppers. That plate behind their head does look like armor. They are just such cool little creatures.

I once video taped one eating one of my bushes. I know. Sad. You'd think I'd chase it off. It was just too fascinating how well his mouth was designed to just mow down a leaf. That bush survived fortunately.

He looks positively primeval. Armored and primeval. :)

He looks very handsome and very different from the ones we get around here.

Yes, he does look like he's armored. I agree with Jen, he looks primeval, too.

That's one very handsome looking grasshopper you photoed there Misty, in perfect lighting. He is pretty well armored.

Certainly old enough to have developed the protection. Great shot.

He's one cool dude. Sir Grasshopper. Where is his trusty steed?
