bio22003jeatonDescription
The grasshopper belongs to the order orthoptera. I found this west of the water building where there was an abundance of them. The stripes on its hind legs and face lead me to believe that it is a Two-striped Grasshopper (Melanoplus bivittatus)

The black tip on tail identifies this deer as a mule deer. Its scientific name is odocoileus hemionus. It is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. This mule deer was the largest female of the group that it was grazing with.
