WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY – BIG CYPRESS WMA, FL
This photograph of a Southeastern Lubber grasshopper was taken in Big Cypress National Reserve along Nobel Road. The subject was shot with a Nikon D80 coupled to a Nikkor 60mm lens.
- Description:
- 2-2 3/4″ (50-70 mm). Short winged. Hind wings pink to red with black borders. Two different color forms: either dull straw-yellow with black markings and, in the South, a reddish stripe on fore wing; or mostly black with a yellow stripe around edges of pronotum, along back ridge, and on rear edge of abdominal segments.

I am an avid hiker, explorer and photographer living in Florida for the past 20 years. I enjoy photographing all wildlife and that of the natural world. Currently, I work a 9-5 as a profiler and graphics coordinator for a major online website, but at every opportunity, can be found somewhere traipsing about in the Everglades or in some wooded part of Florida and beyond, following game trails, and exploring new areas where man has least traveled.
