    :D Seeing this one took me back to my childhood... :rolleyes: We would spend hours on a sunny day catching grasshoppers in jam jars.... Seem to remember them being green in colour too.... This one was hopping around this thistle, I don't know what they feed on.. Not the blackfly by any chance.....?? :D
