Hello Friends,
remember that colorful grass hopper looking thing I posted a week or so ago...
here is the name for it. I submitted it to the Memphis Zoo and got this email back!
Now you know, you can sleep better!

you know it amazes me how many pictures I took of that Eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera... for some reason he was fascinating and yet just a BIG ugly grasshopper at the same time. :-)
