Greetings!
I am very happy to finally be getting involved in one of @papa-peppers contests. He must be the contest master here on Steemit and our Steemit Hero!
(This is my thumbnail promo photo the actual entry photo is below here!)
This is a perfect contest for me as I take photos every day and also live in a place where there are constantly plants and animals! In fact I got an even more epic snake photo the other day but could not get a "proof" shot (which is actually the hardest part of the contest rules hahaha)
This is a really big grasshopper probably 4 inches long and the back of the jumper legs are so sharp with serrated blades they will draw blood if you try and catch them improperly.
I really love nature because there is constantly something to learn and so much beauty to behold.
I found this grasshopper on one of my shiso crops which I just made an extensive post about last week here. The shiso plant is quite awesome in it self and whats cooler is that we have lots of grasshoppers here but they are constantly evolving!
As you can see this grasshopper looks just like the varying shades of redish purple and green. Most grasshoppers are green as they live in grasses but this is a shiso adapted grasshopper!
Grasshoppers as with most bugs are super powerful and can jump hundreds of times their height and as you can see adapt very quickly. Some of them around here even get as big as 5 inches long!
This is my first entry to this great contest and I plan on entering much more because its fun and also because I like to support @papa-pepper who is a prime example of the standards of honor and success here on Steemit.
I am who I say I am and heres PROOF!
Here is the bonus GIF that I made of the grasshopper blowing in the wind! Enjoy!
I love photography because it is a way to really excentuate the beauty all around and more importantly to share it. I am grateful to be able to share with all you cutting edge Steemians here on this revolutionary platform!
As always I appreciate your support and welcome your feedback!
SteemON!
Love the proof photos! Fun stuff and great photos!

Taking into account your post on shiso we can assume that the grasshopper is one healthy, deoxidized, non nauseated and slow aging fellow! Well done!

Yes they bled RIGHT in with the environment and sway with the breeze. Plus they are very fast and jump very far. A very well adapted creature.
Very nice to see you here. I know how busy you are.

WOW. THAT IS HUGE. And pretty frightening. Seems like it would knock you out if it jumped at your head. Haha. Giant things. Yeeesh.
Saw your entry on the contest post and had to come say hello. :D I entered too!
I haven't seen you around yet, so I am happy to bump into another fellow homesteader. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic creature!

Hey!
Yea its amazing how hard it is to find people here on Steemit. I am one of the most successful homesteading accounts on Steemit besides @papa-pepper and I comment on his stuff often and yet we still haven't connected.
Thanks for stopping by to say hello and connect. Always great to get to know and support other homesteaders!
SteemON!

Yes! I love connecting here on Steemit! I am finding the best people even after not even three months! I have made some great friends, I feel. I am happy to have found you to learn some from you about homesteading and more.
I like to consider myself... a little less than mildly successful. ;) Hahha. Kidding, I have no idea, but I am having a good time doing it! Thanks for the quick reply! I hope to connect with you more often!

I appreciate it, though @papa-pepper is the Steemit hero!
Consider using him as an example rather than a copy past method. Doubt these types of "heroics" will be any where close to as successful.

Really nice, educational posts- awesome. Your entry reminds me of the flying rocks when I lived in your state (cicadas- ouch). Good going- planting info and thoughts about super-foods / good medicine. Solutions and prevention of tough problems are all around us and always have been. I'm just days old here and am crazy happy to see so many great contributions from the various strains of... people! So Encouraging
