This weeks macro pic is of a grasshopper. Most people think that all grasshoppers are the same. This is not true though. Actually there are about 11,000 different species of grasshoppers. They are all a member of the Acrididae family which is a part of the order Orthoptera, which includes grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets.

I linked to you for the first time from Lisa's Chaos when I posted a Macro Monday. You have a terrific blog! I am impressed with the quality of the photographs and the wide variety of animals. Besides being interesting it is a valuable reference. I will be back.
Great details and color. And I had no idea there were so many species!
A gorgeous macro post on a lovely hopper.
Oh, this shows great detail. Especially the markings of the thorax and abdomen.
