Oh Snap! A Grasshopper!

[RydiaLockheart]

This little guy was hanging on my car window when I left the parking lot, and still managed to hang on the whole time when I was doing 65 down the freeway. I thought for sure he'd lose his grip.

This grasshopper is a total bro, you should get a tank for him, and keep him as a pet.

[Bryan]

Grasshoppers are cool, I guess, but that won't stop my undying hatred for insects/bugs and all their kind.

[SevenSeize]

We had a ladybug on our windshield for several hours on our last road trip. When we stopped, I took it and went and put it in a bush. Congratulations young grasshopper.

[Entice]

I gutted a few and sauteed them once. They turned red like shrimp and tasted p similar

[Tankdown]

He/she must like you.

A grasshopper got into house few nights ago. I couldn't find him/her but it kept playing near me near ear bleeding levels.

[Boomstick]

Nice, I had a Praying Mantis on my screen door, I opened the door a couple times and he managed to stay on.

[Viper]

It's weird. Up until a few days ago I hadn't seen a single grasshopper all year.
And I still haven't seen any Monarch butterflies around here either....
Thats a cool grasshopper though.

[Loki]

Funny, there was one on my porch this afternoon when I got home from work.

First time I ever see one there, too. Mine was yellow / green though. Didn't take a picture because I don't care.

[Sense-Offender]

Grasshoppers, eh?

[Chdonga]

The only cool bug is a dead one. I hope you crushed that thing into a paste.

How about this?

well congrats for getting a new inset buddy also see the hooks on the end of his legs those hook into small loops in the metal allowing him to keep a firm grip despite the rapid speed of movement also he can lock his legs into position pre and post movement interestingly enough

I would include a bug invasion and freak out if I saw this.

Hey, you. don't be like that.

[PoesRaven]

I had a giant wasp hanging on my windshield all the way home once...not as much fun. And he was too far up for the wipers to catch him. I am ashamed to say I sat in the car for five minutes after I got home in the hopes he would fly off...

But congrats on your new hopper friend!

I try not to stare. It's rude.

You know whats creepy? Seeing hundreds of those things. Go down to Apalachee river here in Florida, there is a spot where it actually gets kinda scary if your not used to it.

There are hundreds but you cannot see them all at once- They are hidden a lot. Most of them are black but some of them have colors like the one you showed.

grasshoppers are the shit man. I used to have one for a class project when i was a kid. but then i accidentally killed it. hahahahahahhaha

A few nights ago I went on an errand, and didn't notice I had a grasshopper for a hood ornament (seriously he was in the right spot) until halfway there. Even when I went into the convenience store and came out he was still there, and stayed there all the way back home. It's amazing they can cling to a smooth surface like a car hood, even at highway speeds.

So, was it like those fancy things wired into the end of an old Crown Vic?

Yesterday the next door neighbour's chickens came inside my house.
I picked them up and put them outside.

Stranger for me as I've never seen a grasshopper yet in my childhood I would try and hunt them in my garden.

Pretty much XD
There's tons of them around here. Most are yellow like the one in the OP's pic' or a light greenish brown color, but there's a few that are black with yellow stripes that get up to 3 inches long. They hang out on my sunflower plants so I'll see if I can find one tomorrow.
