Eastern Lubber Grasshopper - Romalea microptera

Eastern Lubber Grasshopper - Romalea microptera
Destrahan, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, USA
April 6, 2008
I happened upon this one and hundreds more on the edge of a swamp. It was while taking these pictures that I witnessed another predator/prey event between one of these and the paper wasp (Polistes bellicosus) thumbed below.
