Anatomy of Grasshoppers

They have three body regions (the head, thorax, and abdomen) and possess a tracheal system for breathing, three pairs of legs, and two pairs of wings. Within the Insecta, grasshoppers belong to the order Orthoptera, as they grow and develop by gradual metamorphosis (eggs-nymphs-adults), and they have chewing mouthparts and leathery forewings called tegmina. Grasshoppers may next be placed in the family Acrididae because they possess short antennae and ovipositor (egg-layer), an auditory organ (tympanum visible externally) on each side of the first abdominal segment, and three-segmented tarsi (feet).

A very good shot of this golden grasshopper, Lenka. There is a slight graininess in the picture, but it is a minor nit only.
Maybe your camera settings did it.
TFS and warm regards.

Hi Lenka,
Very well composed and framed macro shot on this hopper. Vibrant color saturation and sharp detail. Great DOF even with the angle of the hopper.
Looks great!
