Grasshopper!

After 3 months of living in Brisbane, I am getting used to the idea that a lot of the insect life is on a big scale.

I've yet to encounter any of the large spiders...thankfully

But here's a little creepy crawly which I found crawling up the side of the back decking, heading toward our potted herb and vegie garden. Cheeky!

I've included a shot with fingers in the frame to provide some scale.

You can keep him at your place Matt.
They're a bugger to try to catch when they get in the house.
