Not Very Sneaky Gr’opper
This grasshopper was fully concealed behind the grapevine when I first approached, but as I got closer it turned more and more sideways to the stalk. It had anchored its jumping feet to the side branch, and was tensing for a good evasive leap, but I stopped far enough away to let it relax.
I love the antennae on this gr’opper, as well as this pose that says “I am really quite bad at peek-a-boo.”
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.
