I managed to make this macro during my vacation at sea. The grasshopper came to cool on my laundry. I was surprised she didn’t run away as I approached. The grasshopper is a long, thin insect – usually green, gray or brown – with large hind legs that help it jump high. While it’s true that they are winged, not everyone has a good year. Instead, they use wings to gain more momentum from the jump. Their color will depend on the vegetation around the species. The ability to conceal, protects them from predators and allows them to hunt. The grasshopper is a good omen, so it brings with it joy and prosperity. This theory comes from Eastern mythology, especially from Japan.

Well, it is a beautiful creature, I understand that the last emperor of China was called “Grasshopper” and he was supposed to turned into a Grasshopper.
Nice weekend, well, another few dramas, the 100 day coughing virus and my husband is in Auckland hospital, and I have nearly got phneumonia but not quite. My husband does have pneumonia or had it.
I am taking anti biotics not in the best of health but it will work its course as most of these viruses do.
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. Keep an eye on your health and I want your health to improve as soon as possible.
Thanks Vidocka, we do our best in our circumstances
Very nice shot. We had a lot of them in the garden this year.
Thank you. I don’t see them often.
Just this morning I saw hundreds of grasshoppers hopping around when I took the dogs for a walk.
I don’t see them very often.
That’s a beautiful photo. My kids always want to catch the grasshoppers when they see them in the garden or in the park, but the grasshoppers always hop too fast. 😀
Thank you. My grandchildren also want to catch them but fail. At least they have fun ?
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, my was lovely.
Thank you. I also spent a wonderful weekend
You got a great picture, dear Vidocka
Thank you very much, Lado.
I always look forward to seeing your posts, dear Vida
Thank you so much for your kindness
Thank you too, dear Vida
We have many grasshoppers and they will eat the insects in the garden, but often eat the garden too!
I agree, Carol. They can do great damage to the garden.
I believe everything that is created by almighty God is for some purpose , there is nothing useless
I totally agree. Everything is created for some purpose
This grasshopper did not hop from one place to another after seeing you. 🙂
No. Looks like the grasshopper was “domesticated” ?
Lol. Should stay away from you as you keep grasshoppers and dragonflies as your pets.
Fortunately, this happened during my vacation and not in my home
Great picture Vidocka!
Grasshoppers are interesting. Beautiful to see while on a walk. Not so beautiful if you are in your garden!
Thank you, Doc. You are right. I like some animals and insects on my walk rather than in the garden ?
yes, or like a cricket in the house. Love hearing them on the walk, Trying to find the one in the house, annoying!!!
Grasshoppers are not scared of human beings.
Looks like you’re right because she didn’t run away
They are my favourite insects. I used to play with grasshoppers by feeding them a blade of grass.
I also remember that we did this in our childhood years.
I’m not sure that grasshoppers have to mean anything!
I agree, but these are old superstitions.
