It looks like a katydid, not a grass hopper.

Wren, you need to leave a space between your sentence and the link in order for the link to work. you can do that by using the edit function and just add a space.

Wow---beautiful bugs. Makes me wonder what they have been eating. Flamingos are the pink/coral color because of the shrimp that they eat, so maybe these bugs like rose petals? Laverne
