Chasing the Green Flutter

A tiny green grasshopper landed right on the sunny edge of the window! I didn't even hesitate—I scrambled over a stack of magazines and leaped across a potted succulent to get a closer look. My vinyl foot knocked against a terracotta saucer, sending a little shower of dry dirt onto the sill. The critter froze, twitching its long antennae, and I leaned in as close as I could without tipping over. It gave one giant spring right out into the breeze before I could even tap the glass!
