Field Notes

Description:

The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts (swarming grasshoppers) are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by antennae relatively short and stout, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment. >> Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrididae

I'm just wondering if it's a juvenile grasshopper. :) Did it have wings? Either way it's a really good photo.
