Nice to hear from you. I photoshopped the grasshopper to appear as if it were on her head. Good luck with the fly. I didn't know your husband was a fly fisherman. Hi Libit. Nice to hear from you.

I can't believe I stumbled across some friends looking for what a grasshopper looks like. Scrolling down I said, "I know that kid. Then the name was right. Wow! Small world. Did Avery really have that on her head? My husband is tying a fly that is suppose to look like a grasshopper. I was saying that I didn't think they had segmented bodies. That meant we had to google a picture. Yours was the best. The grasshopper is called a lubber. Hi! I can’t believe I stumbled across some friends looking for what a grasshopper looks like.

Looks like a cross between a grasshopper and a spider but jumps like a cricket. I was trying to identify an insect that is scaring the bejeebers out of my girlfriend.

I am from Miami, and these were in my yard all the time as a kid. I was never brave enough to pick one up. I stumbled on this because I was trying to find photos of these particular grasshoppers to show my kids. We live in NC now, so they've never seen them. The grasshoppers here are tiny! great photo by the way! This is a Southern Lubber. I am from Miami, and these were in my yard all the time as a kid. I was never brave enough to pick one up.

One always manages to get into my room and keep me awake. Their size does not match their sound! I was going to put a giant grasshopper/cricket in a photo next to my dog to show its size matching its sound. I am planning to blog about how loud grasshoppers/crickets are this time of year.

There are so many of them around where I live but I am looking for an organic solution.
