Your exquisite shots of this grasshopper led me to a disturbing discovery from the Red List:
"strong declines have recently been found in northern Germany, namely 45% in 20 years in the Emsland (S. Krause pers. comm. 2006), and 97% in 10 years near Bremen (Grotjahn and Handke 200)."
When even insects are becoming less numerous, we've got a serious problem.

Humanity is inhuman.
We are repeatedly shown the consequences of our actions and we repeatedly repeat those same actions over and over again.
The Tao tells us "do nothing and nothing is left undone" but we can't "do nothing", it is not in our nature, so we hurtle down a
narrow corridor, hating ourselves, the nature of things and all the things we have left undone...
