p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Golden Head - Locust


The big bods have arrived in the garden, about 5” long this one, and there is plenty to eat this year so no need to evict them to the neighbours, yet. :-)

A Locust I believe, perched on a veranda post, cautious but unafraid. She backed up from the lens so I manoeuvred her and eventually got some nice background in the frame.

Thanks for comments all, appreciated.

Maybe 5" was a slight exaggeration. 4? 3.5"? Don't remember really. :-)

Nice work Mark. We have lots of Field Grasshoppers in the garden here, usually around 4 or 5 inches. What is the difference between a grasshopper and a locust ? is it just that they swarm ?
