Fat Bug

Beautifull, excelent DOF, great picture. Is this family from the grashopper?

Thanks!

Thanks for the comments Fons.

Yes, this creature is in the order Orthoptera of the Pterygota subclass which includes Grasshoppers, Katydids and Crickets.

We found this one in our house. They are quite common in my neck of the woods in California. My wife trapped it in a cup and I took this phote when we released him outside where he belongs.

Cheers,
