A yellow grasshopper from my yard, with my attempt at isolating him. I did alright, so I’m releasing this as a resource to the world.

Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Glossy finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart.

You can download the source image (JPEG, 573KB) or the edited version in loseless PNG format instead of the JPEG above (1.4MB, make sure to use the sRGB color space). Both images are released under the same license. For editing, I added contrast and removed the background using the eraser brush in Adobe Photoshop. The best way is to use the pen tool and layers, but I hate layers.

I loathe these yellow pests. They feed on my palm trees, and other plants I tend to. Instead of poisons or insectides, I prefer to use a .22 Cal Benjamin pump pellet pistol. RWS 14.2gr hollow points are the most accurate and deadly. Since I am an avid marksman these pests allow me to practice my skills and save my plants at the same time. The nice thin about the air gun is its enviornmentally friendly, power can be adjusted to kill them even on glass surfaces with no damage to whats behind them and if a clear shot presents itself a high power shot causes a violent explosion of their bodies, a “coups de gras”. I leave their pungent remains for their friends as a warning and as food for ants and lizzards. So if these Lubbers are bothering you, take up arms my brothers and sisters and give em hell. BORN TO KILL!
