As I walked over to one of the second floor windows, I was shocked at what I saw. A large, Eastern Lubber Grasshopper, resting on the outside of a window pane of glass, while it was raining. This grasshopper, was very large. This grasshopper, was about three inches or more, long. These windows were very foggy. I took some photos of this grasshopper, then I went back downstairs, to the first floor. About forty five minutes later, the rain stopped. I then went back upstairs to the second floor, to check on this grasshopper. The rain has stopped, and this grasshopper was gone.
Habitat:
Though it's preferred habitat, seems to be low, wet areas in pastures and woods, and along ditches. Open pine woods, fields, roadsides, lawns, croplands, esp. moist areas.
