Just stepped outside my office to make a phone call and noticed this bright little chap chillin' on the wall. Not including the antennae he's about the size of a 50p. Anyone know what he is?

I's hazard a guess he's called Steve The Grasshopper

Grasshopper with no wings?

McGray · 10 Sep 2013 at 14:10

That is a grasshopper lol.

Gilly · 10 Sep 2013 at 14:11

He's the first of the invaders. Have you seen Starship Troopers?!

M-150 · 10 Sep 2013 at 14:12

Grasshopper, to be sure.

Segmentation fault?

Amp34 · 10 Sep 2013 at 14:12

A camera planted by the CIA. Looks like the mk3 version

Its a Queen Wasp. My Dad kills them for a living.

Fair enough, I guess it's a grass hopper then

I've heard plenty, never actually seen one

A grasshopper with no wings is no worry. A grasshopper without those kickers however is another thing all together.

He's a cute lil' fella

No that is a sport!

Yeah it's a cricket. Not a grasshopper

They are really cute, had one in my car wing mirror the other day while driving so I picked him off and found a bush for him. It's hard to control a cricket while driving, so my gf held ot

This is a cricket
