G is for Glorious...

Grasshopper!
A photo from my visit last summer to Missourahhh. This certainly works for me for ~ABC Wednesday - It's a G This Week~, but I can feel the backlash comin' already! I just know some entomologist, or entomologist-minded person is going to declare, in no uncertain terms, that the above bug is nowhere near a grasshopper! Do NOT spoil my day, you entomologist, you!

  1. I'll go with you, Annie. If it looks like a grasshopper and hops like a grasshopper, it's a grasshopper.:) Neat capture in the flower, whatever it is.

    That is a Katydid, not a Grasshopper.

    But... since you need a "g", we'll call it a grasshopper this week.

    love,
    Roger & Daddy.

  7. Great photo, and I know how you feel. I posted Gorillas for G and I'm not sure they're not some other kind of ape!

  15. As far as I'm concerned, if it hops it's some sort of grasshopper by whatever name it might have. Love photo and he is a very cute little fellow.

  17. Close enough! Looks like a grasshopper from here - but I'm one who calls a wasp 'a bee', so... Beautiful photo!

  18. If it looks like a grasshopper, and hops like a grasshopper .. then it IS a grasshopper.

    Do I hear any nay sayers?

    I didnt think so.

  22. neat.

    I have a cousin who's an entomologist who discovered some new bug in central or south america. What a different line of work.

  23. I don't know... I see them feeding on my plants all summer, so I deemed them grasshoppers long ago. I don't care what anyone else says. If it's shaped like a grasshopper, is green like a grasshopper, and feeds on plants like a grasshopper, then it is a grasshopper. So sayeth Snooty. Amen.

  24. I think it's a type of cricket....
    I love that color pink!

  25. This is Dr. CG here, registered entomiolgist. And although this little bug is in the arachnid family, it is not really a true grasshopper.
    I think his name is Jiminy.

    Don't be hatin the good doctor!!

  26. Annie: That is a beautiful capture of the little grasshopper.
