Image of Aztec Pygmy Grasshopper
Description:
While documenting the results of a human-caused fire in the Jewel of the Creek, I ran across these aquatic grasshoppers. They were very variable in shape and markings. These have eyes that are divided along the horizontal plane, presumably to allow for above-water and underwater vision.
