Face-to-face

Ten minutes at lunchtime and a grasshopper that tolerated me leaning awkwardly over a grave just long enough to get the photograph I wanted. A substantial crop, but the light, low viewpoint and expression made it worth it.

A grasshopper faces the camera at ground level on a sunlit stone surface in Steyning, West Sussex. Warm autumn sunlight catches its antennae and body while strong shadows and the rough texture of the stone create a dark, dramatic setting.

In ancient Babylonia and the broader Mesopotamian culture, grasshoppers (and their swarming phase, locusts) held a multi-layered, dual meaning. They represented both a positive symbol of fertility and abundance and a destructive force of nature used in divination and dietary sustenance. In their solitary, non-destructive form, grasshoppers were viewed by Babylonians as symbols of the natural cycle, fertility, and abundance. Because they appeared in large numbers during agricultural cycles, they were tied to the life-giving forces of the earth. This famous example is a beautifully detailed, nearly 4,000-year-old Babylonian stone weight carved from hematite in the shape of a grasshopper (c. 1800–1700 BCE). Used in markets for fair trade transactions, the grasshopper shape on the weight likely invoked blessings of agricultural prosperity and nature. When solitary grasshoppers crowded together and transformed into swarming locusts, their meaning shifted drastically. To the Babylonians, a locust swarm was a catastrophic event that could strip fields bare and cause widespread famine. Babylonians were deeply invested in astrology and divination. Grasshopper and locust behavior was carefully documented in cuneiform omen series (such as the Šumma Ālu). A swarm of grasshoppers appearing in a specific city or flying in a particular direction was interpreted as a direct message or warning from the gods, usually predicting economic ruin, military invasion, or divine displeasure. Despite the threat they posed to crops, grasshoppers were heavily utilized by Babylonians in daily practical life. Babylonians actively harvested locusts and grasshoppers for food. Cuneiform records show that mass amounts of these insects were caught, preserved in brine, and transported over hundreds of kilometers to be eaten as a protein-rich delicacy or everyday staple.

Woke up at 7AM and caught this American Bird Grasshopper. Quiet surprised, it almost blended in.

I took a fair amount of insect photos to help a college professor pal in her iNat project today, but rather surprisingly, I liked this simple grasshopper image the best.

Obscure bird grasshopper (Schistocera obscura)

Bird grasshoppers have long strong wings with very high aviation mobility. Their size as a larger insect makes it easy to mistake them for birds.

This “differential grasshopper” was conveniently indifferent to me, so I got a nice shot with my phone. Almost never see anyone on these beautiful plants, so overall thanks for modeling, #grasshopper 🙏🏻👌🏻😲🦗
