Day of the locust

Day of the locust

This locust (grasshopper?) hung onto the hood of Anne's car for 12 miles at freeway speeds. When we parked, I took a picture just to remember the damn thing . . . but I think I lucked into a cool shot with the reflection of the trees and whatnot.

...I had a really odd and scary experience with a grasshopper once... i just don't like talking about it; all I'm saying is, i think i tripped over one...(?)

Now you've done it... News will get out that the other grasshoppers can hitch rides now onto cars the easy way for them to get to different locations.

I love the trees in the background. Makes him look giganto.

Methinks the grasshopper gets major props for managing to stay on the hood of a car for 12 miles at highway speeds. That is one determined bug. They still creep me out, though.

Nice framing w/ the reflection.
