"Grasshoppers prefer to eat grasses, leaves and cereal crops, but many grasshoppers are omnivorous"

I don't know about that, GWR. I just happened to notice this guy as I was coming out of the woods on to the bike path. But thank you for the nice comment :D

Your little Olympus did a good job of capturing the action. I think your grasshoppers must be quite a bit bigger than ours. Just as well they don't bite!

Please don't undersell yourself Nightski, the comments are fully justified.

I should have known it would be you to notice that! Well, when I first got there, he hadn't eaten any of the caterpillar yet, and I was afraid he was going to hop away, so I pulled the olympus out of my pocket, instead of taking time to load a lens. You just love that don't you, Mr. Pocket Camera Guy! He just looks big because I shot him in Macro.

Congratulations on the quick thinking. You could have ended up with a shot of a half-eaten caterpillar :thumbup: . And half-eaten caterpillars are SOOOOO old hat :-) .

Ummmm..RG...This caterpillar is half eaten. There was more of him to start out with. So, yeah, thanks for calling my photo old hat :roll:

I'll rephrase then. You could have ended up with a shot of JUST a half-eaten caterpillar. And I'm sure you'd agree, a shot like that wouldn't have quite the same sense of drama that your one does.
