Field Notes

Description:

A large grasshopper growing up to the length of a hand with a yellow lined dark blue lattice structure on wings and red and dark blue striped tail with a red neck, head, and claws and dark often green eyes.

Notes:

Big enough that the blades on the legs slightly hurt when it bounces off of you.
