Answer To: "What Is This?"

A few days ago I posted part of a picture and asked you to guess what it was. Here's the answer: it's not a leaf, but a grasshopper. I nearly stepped on this guy while walking up some stairs Saturday. If he hadn't fallen over and started flailing on the ground, I don't think I ever would have seen him. His markings so well concealed him that at first glance, I couldn't quite catch what I was looking at. Pretty cool.
