Tallgrass prairie
This spotting took place at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve.
Acrididae, Melanoplinae, Melanoplini and most probably one of the many Melanoplus sp., sorry, I do not have the time before Xmas to check all the candidates carefully. Maybe you find some time during the holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2014!
Oh, I forgot you need all time for your foxy wall picture ;-)...
