Hopping Mad

Despite the unseasonal warm and dry weather we've been having for the past couple of months, it's still a little early for us to be finding grasshoppers out in the garden. So here are a couple I spotted last year.

(Chorthippus brunneus)

(Chorthippus brunneus)

(Chorthippus albomarginatus)(?)

Even grasshoppers need to answer the call of nature

As soon as Mother Nature sees fit to release this year's brood of hoppers, I'll be out in the garden with my camera.

Until then,
Claude
