Awww she's beautiful :'3
There's an old Chinese proverb says that if you're followed by insects, you will have good fortune in the future.

Nice picture! Very cute insect indeed... I used to keep these critters as food for my Praying Mantises. Katydids are really cool looking insects, aren't they?

Its not a grasshopper, this is a Katydid, relative to the grasshopper. Unlike grasshoppers and crickets, both male and female katydids make sounds by rubbing their forewings (front wings) together to βsingβ to each other. Katydids hear each other with ears on their front legs. They just have to move their front legs to hear in any direction. Nice specimen

there are so many grasshopper in the place where I live...they're everywhere in the backyard, or wherever you can find a yard with 'grass'
some people don't like it very much yet they're amazing and sometimes colorful, not only green. believe it or not, we actually can eat them.
I like grasshopper (not to eat, though)
nice shot!

very nice shot...it's like...um...one of those things where like, it's so cool, but you never really think about it, cos like, you see the stuff all the time...
that's how it is here; there's grasshoppers and stuff all over the place all the time, so they never really stand out or anything...
(this isn't due to poor housekeeping or anything, just the fact that montgomery, Al, is like, full of bugs in general).
i realize that i sound very ditzy or whatever here, but i swear it's just cos it's like 1245 here.

Very great photograph, I can't wait til I get a camera that won't act like its drunk. XB
My comments are pretty much the same as everyone elses, except, what is that yellow in the background? It looks like a little kid mimicking the pose of the bug.

I actually like grasshoppers quite a lot, and I am quite curious. Most of the grasshoppers around my house are either yellow or sort of a brownish black; I'm sorry to say I've never seen a single green grasshopper native here in Florida. At least, where I am.
So, thanks for introducing me to this! XD My first ever sight of a green grasshopper, brought to me by a Jark photograph. And a pretty well-done one, too. Very clear.

When I was in Florida, (gawds, in 1997?!?), I saw those huge buggers everywhere. Granted, I was near Orlando. (Rained every darn day in the afternoon- a nice break from the humidity).
Where are you at in Florida?
π: 0 β©: 1
Near Palm Beach Gardens. I won't specify where 
...Makes me want to go to Orlando, and bring back grasshoppers as a souvineir. <3 ...That wouldn't be very nice for them, though

wow, i never would have thought that someone has never seen a green grasshopper before. that is wild.
even when i lived in cali there were green grasshoppers!
glad to have educated someone today.

You'd be surprised. XD Everywhere I look, there are just yellow guys, hopping around.
Like little demi-Jarks, what with their colors and their big, black, alienesque eyes.
...You have a bunch of insectoid impersonators! X3

I think just about everything is metaphor these days. This is an awesome still mate.

Geez...you must be in Louisiana if the bugs and critters are taking over. They do kinda grow on you though...and make nice pics.

Have you ever eaten dog? A friend of mine went to visit a bunch of countries in Asia for a while and said that for a whole week the only thing he ate was dog, and that you get to pick what dog you want to eat.

Alright already, I'll do something Jark-ish. Btw, awesome pic! Gotta love those grasshoppers!

i can see the metaphor in this.
it's upsetting to see all this happen, dA, one of the few things that were about people, not power, finally sucumbing to the greed of the corperate world.
great picture, cute bug. i've always had a thing for stick insects.

Ahaha, true true. They'll be crawling around here freely soon, destroying [well, hopefully not] our community spirit.
You will be terribly missed, and they can't NOT give us any proper explanation for long, I hope.

Nice macro, and an interesting metaphor
So I read that you just got a 20D, looks like you getting the hang of it,
Good to see that despite all this is going on with DA lately your going and doing a little photography (no pun intended
Best of luck to you.

Waitaminute--I can go into a deeper metaphor here... people being compared to grasshopper-locust thing.... jark being kicked out while insects multiply--- *GASP* one of the seven signs of the apocalypse!
Or close enough.
