A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Gomphocerinae
The pink of the Hardy Hibiscus bloom makes a good contrasting color to observe this Green grasshopper nymph. It has not learned about camouflage. Grasshoppers have antennae that are generally shorter than their body and short ovipositors. They also have pinchers or mandibles that cut and tear off food.
The garden is about half an acre of native plants specifically planted for wildlife. The main water source is a pond that is filtered by two gravel streams. It is on a peninsula by Lake Lewisville, TX.
