Giant Green Slantface Grasshopper (1/11)

Orthoptera: Acrididae

Acrida conica  

Giant Green Slantface. It's not a pretty name, but then I suppose it's not a pretty grasshopper either.

Not that it's not attractive in a colourful cartoonish sort of way.

I rather like it. It's a little bit like me really. A bit odd-looking, basically unsociable but unable to escape the company that's arrived due to its lack of get-up-and-go, so it sits quietly hoping not to get noticed and eventually everyone will go away.

A lot like me really.
