Andrew, I often see grasshoppers in hemlock- camouflaged to mimic lichen. Awesome looking critters. I have a photo somewhere...

We were very interested to see a grasshopper above 85 ft. in a white pine, what was it living on? Might be resident in the lower hardwood canopy and just happened to be passing through. When it jumped it circled and landed back in the pine, it was in no rush to leave the tree. -AJ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
