A tiny linocut I made a few years ago: the red-legged grasshopper.

One of the most common grasshoppers in NA, these are the most commonly seen grasshoppers in the NE US & S Canada. Reddish-brown on their backs, yellow-green below, they are named for their orangy-red legs. In high-density, these grasshoppers can be considered a garden or agricultural pest who eat grain.

My linocut print is 7" (18 cm) by 4" (10 cm), on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper and shows a side view of a red-legged grasshopper in pale green, grey and orange. The rectangular print is displayed on a white square background.

Their food consumption raises with temperature. On the other hand, grasshoppers are edible & looking to the future, people are starting to think creatively about protein sources with less environmental impact.

I made this print thinking about hunger and my ongoing collection of animal prints.
