Description: I believe this is a Common Male Field Grasshopper. Ironically enough, I found this little guy hoping in some pine needles on my college campus; atleast 3 miles for the nearest field. but this little grasshopper did not like me anywhere near him. normally the grasshoppers I run across are somewhere in the later part of their life and usually don't care if I get into their personal space as long as I'm not approaching them head on but this jumpy fellow would jump as soon as I made one move towards him. but in the end I was able to get close enough to get this shot.
