Check out this tiny grass hopper.

Earlier I was watering some plants out front and saw this tiny thing land on a rock. I grabbed my camera real quick and took a few shots in macro mode.

I looks like it's on the moon or something lol.

When you can hit the snatch with the pebble it time for you to go grasshopper.

Put him on a hook and drop in the creek.

Really nice shots. I assume the camera was being hand held.

OMG! 89Grand, you are lucky to have survived this encounter!

That is the little known Killer Grasshopper of Caerbannog!
It is the guardian of the black pebble; and has a vicious streak a mile wide.
The only known way to defeat the beast is to use the Holy handgrenade of Antioch. Thou shalt count to three and and then toss the handgrenade; counting to five is right out.;)

You can sure see the launch mechanism on that thing, I don't see any provision for a controlled landing. Spring board off those hind legs and then hope for a survivable landing?

Good info SAS, I'm not going outside again without a couple grenades.

No landing equipment is necessary, it launches itself with such velocity that it takes your carotid artery right out.:40:
