Just got to see this spotting - all those textures and structures- all part of the same insect.- this is truly amazing !

I started a mission that focuses on the hoppers. I'm hoping it will global rather than just the 300 mile radius of where I'm at. Regardless, I'd really appreciate you adding your hopper spotting(s). http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096... Thank you

Wow! I've never seen a hopper like that before - wonder what those spines are for? Is it pretending to be an ant? Very cool!
