Spharagemon cristatum

This particular grasshopper was situated outside the back door of the CB in the St. Augustine. We have been unsuccessful with entirely killing off the St. Augustine. This grasshopper was sickly. Like it only made a feeble attempt at getting away. And look at those fibers its hind legs are tangled up in. Mercy! What kind of fibers are those?

The CB features a great many different or various grasshoppers. But this kind has been espied, just this once.

Crumby and Ray are very busy going through hundreds of photos they took for DY 5. Hundreds, mostly featuring the most obscure insects imaginable. No one even knows what Order many of these strange creatures should be placed in. That’s why the venue is getting neglected.
