Grasshopper Hide-and-Seek

Grasshoppers seem to taunt me at times… I can hear them but I can’t see them. However today I was lucky enough to track down a couple of them in the garden. They seem to be aware when they’re being watched and sometimes shuffle around a blade of grass to hide. When you move left, they move right, when you move right, they move left. Grasshopper hide-and-seek! But after a while it seems that as you’re not a threat they allow a couple of photos if you’re very well behaved.

Oh go on then, take my photo!

I’ll even let you watch me stridulate!
