I'm giving an API documentation workshop in Mountain View, California on August 30, 2019. If you're interested, you can register on EventBrite.Grasshoppers that Look Like Aliens
June 2008 Update: I know you probably found this post by searching for the word Grasshopper. Feel free to save this grasshopper image and use it however you want. I don't know the official name of the grasshopper, but I took the photo in St. Petersburg, Florida. I then removed the background in Photoshop. If you know the specific species name of this grasshopper, let me know.
This beautiful grasshopper was hanging out on our patio wall all last night. I was able to get about a foot away and take this picture. The grasshoppers in Florida are gigantic.
Then we had some fun with photoshop. Notice how Lucy tries to save Avery.
