Grasshopper2281

Dry weather can cause some plants to brown out or go dormant before their time. I was walking in a field where many plants were mainly brown, when I noticed a bright speck of green on a milkweed plant. Closer inspection showed that speck to be this grasshopper. I wonder how it feels as it stands out to predators that normally would have a tough time noticing it on a green leaf.
