This is another one of the lubber grasshoppers..but,this time with his adult coloration..I had my hubby hold them so i could take photos(plus that way it poops on him...lol)..Notice the wings..but,they can't fly.They seem to extend them wehn they get aggravated.Also this gives you an idea how big they are..My hubby is 6'4" and had big hands..This bug is about 3inches or so.
