Grasshopper, what have you come to tell me?
This was the biggest grasshopper I had ever seen. It was on my office window for most of the day. It measured nearly 7 inches in length. Of course I thought maybe it was a dead relative or just a big insect with a message.
I still haven’t figured out quite what the message was. But I’m sure it was important.
(update: Thank You Comeback Reader, Miss Cortez: I do believe that it is a Praying Mantis. However, here forthwith still being referred to as a big ole grasshopper. Why? because doesn’t grasshopper sound more intriguing, purposeful, and karate kid like ?

If the praying Mantis was really bringing a message, then Praying Mantis, with the strong religous undertone, has a much bigger impact … IMHO

I am ignorant, I havent even read the blog post yet I am still laughing at the caption… and its a day later. Like it almost looks like it came over to say something.
