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!

    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.

    We can forgive whatever error there might be present in the identification of said bug due to the Glorious flower!

    That is a Katydid, not a Grasshopper.

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

    love,
    Roger & Daddy.

    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!

    Whatever that bug technically is, this is a really great shot!

    A very Good G...Grasshopper or not.

    This is clearly a stunted grasshopper.

    Lovely Annie!

    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.

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

    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.

    Nice choice--thanks for sharing!

    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.

    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.

    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!!
