Smiling Scary Face

Smiling Scary Face

I was walking in my backyard, when I bumped into this green Grasshopper!! Below you can see the grasshopper in full, as you can see it is quite a large one. The photo above is a closeup photo of its face, As you can see it looks as if it is smiling and also if it forgot to shave in the morning, it must be because it is weekend!! I never new Grasshoppers were so hairy!!

Below is the side view of this little fellow. It almost look waxy in appearance!! A green blue eyed wonder!!

And just look at those spikes on the hind legs!! I am sure this is great protection against unwelcome predators!!

The photo below, just shows where the spikes fit onto the hind leg!!

This Grasshopper is actually a colorful creature, just look at the colorful red and black wings!!

The photo below is unfortunately a bit blurry, as the Grasshopper tried to flee away from me, must be a bit camera shy and did not like all the attention. You can however see the setup of the wings quite nicely!!

Below is just one last photo of the happy, though scary face of the Grasshopper!!

I enjoyed photographing this one, more than he enjoyed being photographed.

I took these photos with my iPhone, in Pretoria @ my home, in the Gauteng Province of South Africa.

I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did taking it.

What a great grasshopper, we have them a little and much prettier. Is it a locust? :0

rynow (71) · 7 years ago

Thanks for the comment, you can read about the difference between
Grasshopper / Locust on the link, I am not sure which is which, in South Africa we only have one name for both in my language, Afrikaans.

A face with a slight smile and impartial eyes. may be used as a form of passive-aggression or to convey the notion that "that is exceptional" when matters are in truth not exceptional.
