is it sheer luck that you find a scene like this or do you breed them so that you can take photos like this?

I've never heard of a grasshopper shedding its skin. Is it only this certain genus that does such a thing? How very interesting!

every insect has to shedding its skin when they are growing. the have no "soft" skin like mammals. so when they are growing they have to renew their "shield".

Understandable, but I've never seen a grasshopper's skin before. :3 Guess you just have to be lucky like you. lol

You catch bugs doing the most amazing things. I only ever see them walking along. You must have so much patience. Great shot.
