Field Notes

Description:

This large brown grasshopper has horizontal striped legs and vertical striped eyes. Hints of orange on its legs and top.
It flew about 7 yards at a time.

Habitat:

On a purple plant in the backyard. Eventually got tired of being a model and flew on to a lacrosse net.

Notes:

Aka vagrant grasshopper. The video is of a different Gray Bird Grasshopper spotting so the coloring is a bit different.
