The eastern lubber grasshopper makes quite an impression in both size and color. They are usually a bright orange and typically about three inches long. They can be found throughout the southeastern United States. I photographed this one in Everglades National Park in Florida. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.
