That's a biggin'!

On Thursday one of my co-workers caught a big grasshopper and wondered if I would like a picture of it. Of course! But, I never had the time to get a picture, so I put him in an ammo can and brought him home. It wasn't until yesterday, Saturday, that I finally had a chance to take some pictures. Remembering back to my boyhood days, I thought it would be fun to "gas" him and pin him up, them everyone could get an idea of how big it was.


I stole the lid off of a cooler since it was the only thing we had that was made of styrofoam. I then made the black box and placed little tick marks every inch. As you can tell, this grasshopper is over 8 inches across, and almost 5 inches long.
