Wordless Wednesday - Odd Creature !
Not sure if you have these where you live, in South Louisiana this time of year they are everywhere.s Here we call them "Devil Horses" (not sure why) but they are Black Grasshoppers ( real name: Romalea microptera) and they are HUGE ! I find it odd that they are a type of grasshopper and I have never seen one "HOP".

I actually like bugs - I mean not in my house, but I see ther beauty & purpose. I always scoop them up and put them out when they do get inside. That guy up there does look like some kind of devil horse - not too cute :))

EEK! Talk about creepy crawly! I'd be happy I never saw it hop! ;)

I have NEVER seen a black grasshopper before but we have black dragon flies with white stripes on their wings that are equally as creepy!

I love the nickname "devil horses" for them, they kind of do look like creepy little goblins on horses LOL. We have a ton in the field next to our house and it's nice during the warmer months to keep the windows open at night and hear them chirping. I've seen them in all different colors from black, green, clear, yellow, red, white, and a few funky looking purple ones.

I'd much rather view this HUGE guy in picture form! I'm not grossed out by it, but I certainly wouldn't want it crawling on me.
