Grasshopper on glass door - Schistocerca lineata - Female
Meridian , Ada County, Idaho, USA
October 16, 2020
Size: Approximately 3 inches
This large grasshopper spent at least an hour attempting to scale the sliding glass door, falling onto the door mat, and repeating the attempt countless times. This happened at about 1 pm. A smaller grasshopper joined it on the glass door very briefly.
