As Big as it Gets Grasshopper

This is as big as any grasshopper I've ever seen, and I let it crawl off of a railing along the river and onto my forearm. The dof is a little off, and I'm a little nervous... It is about 5 inches long, and surprisingly, it moved very slowly. I put my arm back down along the railing and it eventually crawled off. The 3rd shot is a spider found at the same location. I love this location for nature...

Strangely enough, I used to see them quite often in cemeteries in Bibb and Chilton counties during the Summers. Great photos!
