I had to be in Florida on Friday for work so I figured I’d stay the weekend and search for newly hatched baby alligators, Florida panthers and the state’s spectacular birdlife. What I ended up with were fornicating grasshoppers. These three inch lovers are called eastern Lubber grasshoppers, or, as they are more commonly known, Florida giant orange grasshoppers.  They move quite awkwardly and slowly and can only jump short distances. They are, however, toxic to most predators and their bright coloration acts as a warning sign.
