Well, I caught those grasshoppers I might as well tell someone about them. I was actually rather fascinated by the whole ordeal. Rather, the catching of them was the best part. It's just so much fun to catch bugs. I have three now because I squished one on accident but I've got them all pinned up and cool looking. When I was down by the water at Riverfront Park, I didn't notice this but the smaller ones don't really have that big of wings which was then clarified to me by Dave that they were in fact just younger versions of the large, fully-grown one I'd caught previously. They are actually very beautiful bugs but very fragile. I like looking at them and it inspires me to keep working because I've already accomplished something around here.
