[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Many species of grasshoppers are general herbivores feeding on a variety of plants. Some species only like grasses.
As herbivores, grasshoppers link plants to the rest of the ecosystem. Frass (droppings) contribute to nutrient turnover by returning nutrients as fertilizer for the plants. They provide food for birds and other arthropods.
Grasshoppers are around in the spring and summer, but are most noticeable in the autumn. Areas with many grasses, small "vacant" lots and gardens are good places to start looking. Look at the area as you walk through. If you can hear the plants moving as you walk there are most likely grasshoppers around.

Hi Gabriel, he is quite a pretty grasshopper. It looks like he is wearing plated armour. I haven't seen a grasshopper around here for a long time. Good job, thank you

Hola Gabriel,
Lindo saltamontes, muy colorido. Me gusta la foto aunque hubiera deseado un mayor acercamiento, me parece que la hoja entera queda bien, además me fascinan esos colores oscuros y la iluminación; tambien son buenos los detalles.
Solo me queda felicitarte.
Hernán
