Moulting

I wouldn't mind betting that this little grasshopper is in the middle of a moult.  There's a dark line from the eye down to the foreleg, and if you look at the image in large, you can (almost) see two eyes - one inside and one outside of the casing.

I shall check a bit later on to see if there's any progress.

Thanks for all your good wishes yesterday, George told me all about it by thought transfer.  I'm not confident enough to drive yet - but maybe next week.
