A big grasshopper

I am really busy today - I am going to see Stereophonic, in a theater, instead of watching The Game Awards, which are insufferable - so the only news I have for you is that I saw a very large grasshopper yesterday.

If you don't like large, close-up pictures of bugs, don't look!

Don't look at this large "Grey Bird Grasshopper" that I was blessed to see sitting on a window!

Hey, I don't even like looking at large photos of bugs myself! When I was a kid I used to get the Ranger Rick magazine, that animal magazine for babies, and I used to refuse to touch the photos of bugs inside! I somehow felt that the photos themselves would carry the hated Bug Nature that scared me so much!

Okay, I warned you! Here it is! Here's the bug!

It's well over 2 inches long so I guess it's a female!
