Look at this stunning beauty I rescued from the stone tower today at the Fells’ forest! ✨🦗💚❤️

A very vibrant grasshopper on my hand in the evening sunshine. The body is bright green and red. Long antennas, red legs, red eyes, and red back and tail. Stunningly beautiful. The background is some dark grey rocks.

Here’s the grasshopper’s story.

For the first time, we found the door to Wright’s Tower open, so we went up (only one flight up). The view was wonderful.

I noticed this beauty on the stone sill. I was trying to take a good pic of her and she hopped on me twice. I took that as she was trying to get a lift down to the ground. So I took her in my hand, and released her on some wild plants.

I stepped inside of the stone lookout tower, and took a portrait oriented pic with the cam pointing up. Four walls are made of stacked stones, with narrow windows letting the lights in, the stairs are going on two sides of the wall with iron railings.
A view from the stone lookout tower. Clear blue sky, Boston skyline is on the horizon, green trees and residential towns, and Interstate 93. I included some stone structures on the left side of the photo to show where I took the pic.
On the west side of the lookout opening, there was this beautiful red and green grasshopper on the wide stone sill. There’s some graffiti on it; it looks like a black and white symbol of yin and yang. The grasshopper is facing this way, looking at me. The view is blurred trees and grayish blue sky.
A photo of the stone lookout tower on top of one of many hills in the Fells’ forest. A tall, but thin, tree is on the left side of the tower. The sky is blue to aquamarine gradation toward the ground. There’s a stone path leading to the tower.

are aware of us and their surroundings more than we give them credit. I often feel some connection when they’re near me. Even mosquitos. 😂 (I’m serious. Once, I had a male mosquito by the indoor plant shelf, and I let him live out his life there, because it was winter. Male mosquitos are pollinators, and they don’t suck blood.)
