Chortophaga australior, the Southern green-striped grasshopper;
Volusia county, Florida (27 August 2013).
A sort of dicey photograph on its own, but I rather like it. This is a Southern green-striped grasshopper hanging out on some glass. This species ranges throughout the American southeast. I don’t see them all that often, but they’re certainly not rare. Florida sports a heavy concentration of Southern green-striped grasshopper observations on iNaturalist.
