Eastern Lubber Grasshopper

Romalea microptera

Description:

It has been raining on and off, for over a week now, and it has been raining on and off, all day today. At around 3:15 p.m. in the afternoon, I went upstairs to the second floor, to look out of one of the second floor windows. As I walked over to one of the second floor windows, I was shocked at what I saw. A large, Eastern Lubber Grasshopper, resting on the outside of a window pane of glass, while it was raining. This grasshopper, was very large. This grasshopper, was about three inches or more, long. These windows were very foggy. I took some photos of this grasshopper, then I went back downstairs, to the first floor. About forty five minutes later, the rain stopped. I then went back upstairs to the second floor, to check on this grasshopper. The rain has stopped, and this grasshopper was gone.

Habitat:

Though it's preferred habitat, seems to be low, wet areas in pastures and woods, and along ditches. Open pine woods, fields, roadsides, lawns, croplands, esp. moist areas.

Notes:

It had been raining on and off all day, and I spotted this large, Eastern Lubber Grasshopper, resting on the outside of a pane of window glass, that was on a second floor window. This large grasshopper, stayed on this window pane of glass, while it was raining, and as soon as the rain stopped, it left...
