Eastern Lubber Grasshopper - Romalea microptera - male

Eastern Lubber Grasshopper - Romalea microptera - Male
Piper, Cahaba River, Bibb County, Alabama, USA
October 13, 2013
Size: 2 inches
This grasshopper was very active, so this is the only good shot I was able to get. I believe this one is a male, based on the mating behavior I observed it engaged in with a larger grasshopper that I also caught. I don't have photos of that behavior, unfortunately.

Awesome Shot, Derek
Textbook perfect
