Photos and identification of local bugs, plants and other bits of nature. I'm just some nerd who likes bugs and stuff. Not an expert.
Local photos, identification and information about random things I come across. Please feel free to post any identification requests with as much information as you have and I'll do what I can!

Grasshopper Nymph
There are a lot of very similar looking grasshopper nymphs, so identification as an amateur would be a loose guess at best. It’s possibly a Red-Legged Grasshopper (Melanoplus femurrubrum,) as it’s the most common grasshopper in the area I found him and is representative of what their nymphs look like.
