Photographed on the table in our back yard. The goofy grin full of
bad teeth isn't a real mouth- grasshopper mandibles move from side to
side, not up and down. Is there an evolutionary reason why it should
pretend to have a vertebrate-style mouth, or is just another
example of that human propensity for making random shapes into
recognizable faces?
