Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


December 7, 2007:Stuck in a web

It has been raining quite a bit here. Not great weather for spending time with the insects. I went out this evening and saw something sort of suspended. Took some photos and discovered that it was a colorful grasshopper caught on a single strand. Here you can see the strand and I wonder - how can the grasshopper not escape?
