Spot the grasshopper!

Reader Mark Richardson sent us a “spot the. . . ” photo.  As he wrote:

Yesterday, I spotted this grasshopper land on a gravel path. I could barely spot it even though I knew where it landed. This might be considered a cruel “spot the…” post, but I couldn’t resist. It is remarkably cryptic against the grey gravel. . . . Not sure of the species, but my best guess is a Pallid-winged grasshopper (Trimerotropis pallidpennis).

Can you spot it (this is pretty hard)?  If you do, don’t say where it is, though you can say “Found it!” in the comments.  There will be a reveal at 11 a.m. Chicago time. Click to enlarge the photo:

  1. Found it! Not that hard if you zoom the picture to full size. But then, I love these types of puzzles and hidden object challenges.
