Found on a trail in California, SF Bay Area. About an inch long.

    Interesting. It looks like it has the head and legs of a grasshopper, body of an ant and butt of a bee.

    It’s probably just because grasshoppers usually having wings, so you don’t see their body sections. Like, this looks more like a ‘normal’ grasshopper to me and it still has similar body structure and coloring underneath its wings:

    Having said that, I’m just looking at the grasshopper wikipedia and the variety is wild to begin with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper#

      Never liked grasshoppers always made my skin crawl. Only know about these guys because my parents get them in their home, never actually seen them though… just their legs, guess my parent’s cats find them pretty tasty
