Southeastern Lubber Grasshopper
My friend and I were hanging out today when our kids came running to show us these cool bugs. We shot these photos thinking we had found something really special. Well, turns out you have lots of Lubber Love photos. Just thought you might want a couple more. Is the male usually smaller than the female?

Hi AC,
The smaller size of the male Southeastern Lubber Grasshoppers is not unique. In most Grasshoppers, the female of the species is considerably larger.
