Two grasshoppers

This post was inspired by our Scottish blogging friend Ananka, as she sometimes shows marvelous creatures on her blog. I've just taken two pictures in my Mother's garden. 


Have a nice 2nd weekend of August  🚴‍♂️ ☀  🌻

    1. It seems there are few predators that feed on grasshoppers.

  2. Those little grasshoppers are so cute. It's so cool that you thought of your friend Ananka and decided to share them. I read her blog too. They look so happy just hanging out in the garden. Have a great weekend yourself.

  3. Hi Giorgio,
    These grasshoppers are beautiful!!! Unfortunately, I've seen very few of them this year compared to previous years. I even told my mom today that there are no butterflies, bees, bumblebees, or grasshoppers this year :(
    Giorgio, I hope you're having a nice weekend?
    Best regards!

  7. This is interesting. I have lived here almost 20 years and have never seen a grasshopper. Except this year I have seen two.

  8. Hello, Giorgio! Unfortunately, I haven't seen any grasshoppers this summer. I spent all of June and July working in the garden (weeding and watering flowers), but I didn't see these little creatures.

  10. Good captures of the grasshoppers of which I haven't seen for years. I don't know where they are hiding these days. Years ago, I'd see a lot of them.

    1. Many grasshopper species can also fly, allowing them to cover even greater distances. That's why you haven't seen them for years.

  11. I followed your blog back in the day when I was into running. I came upon you again while visiting another blog. Some summers there are so many grasshoppers here that I am jumping around them just as much as they are jumping around me!
