creature: grasshopper scientific name: unknown location: Elmhurst, IL Submitted by: Erik Maldre, Elmhurst, IL date: 9/7/2003 Look for story and factoids below image STORY: Here's a grasshopper hanging out on my front porch. I was happy to see him in the sun which made for a nice exposure. FACTOIDS: http://www.faculty.de.gcsu.edu/~cbader/ghp.html tons of grasshopper info including art, articles, tidbits, bible references, cards, jokes, quotes, links, merchandise, stories, and even recipes! http://www.grasshoppermower.com/03/ Well, not much about grasshoppers here. It's just a lawn mowing service. http://www.ris.net/~lawnman/hopfact.html This site gives a quick run-down of the three main body parts of the grasshopper: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen.
