Grasshopper While disliked by some for a "ruining crops", the grasshopper is actually a peaceful, inquisitive, gentle, and benevolent animal. They generally help the plants by eating away the ends. In large numbers, they can be harmful, but I don't hear anyone complaining about large numbers of humans, and how harmful is that? Anyhow, with a hard exoskeleton, two powerful jumping legs and large, beautiful eyes, and occasionally wings, the grasshopper is an exotic marvel for any animal lover. The amazing jumping power of their legs will astound any, from even the smallest of 'hoppers.

Commonality list This is my list of the likelihood of seeing various creatures based on my experiences. Of course, you have to be in the right habitat, the odds of seeing a Dolphin in the forest are not very good. Also, these are based a lot on my local area of Hillsborough County (Tampa). A hyperlink means some kind of info and probably some photos are available. Common If you are in the appropriate habitat, you should run into one of these. In many cases, you can't avoid them.
Uncommon These are harder to find. You'll have to spend some time outdoors and probably look a little for these. However, odds are you'll find one after a little effort.
Rare Difficult to find. Usually, it's just luck to find one, or you'll have to look very hard. You'll probably only see one every six months.
Ultra Rare Very difficult to find. Most people, even people who spend a fair amount of time outdoors, like me, never see one. Consider yourself truely priviledged if you do catch a glimpse of one in the wild.
