Marbled Grasshopper - Spharagemon marmorata Close up facing camera
I am a Marbled Grasshopper
Shown here from the front, top and both sides
When I fly, you can see my black and yellow tibiae
And when I sit, you can see beauty defined.

Location: WW Ranch Road, St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Sebastian
