User's notes
I noticed this Wingless Grasshopper on our garden shed but it did not look like it was going far because it was almost having trouble moving. I noticed in another photo that a spider was emerging from a wood join so I wonder if the spider had bitten the grasshopper and was waiting for the grasshopper to weaken further before it tried to subdue it again.
