green-caped male
catches a sweet ride,

Notes: Meet the slant-faced, short-horned, short-winged green grasshoppers (Dichromorphic viridis) that toured New England this summer. In tandem. My daughter found them for me, describing them as a daughter piggy-backing on her mom. I didn’t correct her. She’s eight.

This was tactful and good to not be too specific when no questions were asked. . . Now, Felicia, aged six, wanted to know why male bunny was hopping onto female bunny. Alas, 4H 🍀 and honest approach since she asked she got a short, bunny sex ed lesson! 🐇🐇

Your daughter is right! I know nothing about grasshoppers, but I’d say that looks like a mom and daughter! xo

You always take such lovely photos of nature. I hardly stop to see insects or anything as always caught up with things. Through your lens, I get a chance. Thank you so much☺
