Every year after rains a lot of dragon-flies emerge from I do not know where and start flying on our neighboring plot. So since a few days I was telling my niece, who is studying in class-2, that I will capture dragon-fly for her to play and observe. Yesterday evening and today morning I and my niece tried to capture dragon-flies but as I silently walked near the place where dragon-flies were flying they moved away from me and out of my reach. After I found it a little impossible to capture dragon-flies I told my niece that I will try to capture grasshopper for her to play and observe.

By chance in the evening when I was going out of the TV-lounge of our home I found a grasshopper sitting on inside of the door of TV-lounge of our home. Quickly I remembered my promise I made with my niece so I went to my room picked an empty plastic box which I am keeping for this purpose and came back and captured that good looking grasshopper. After doing that when I went out of TV-lounge again I found an grasshopper sitting on the floor of car-park of our home. Again I went to my room picked another plastic box came back and captured that grasshopper which by this time had moved a little from the place where I had seen him previously. I took this second grasshopper in TV-lounge and put it in with the first grasshopper.

My niece was very jubilant on watching these two grasshoppers. Although she asked me why I captured these grasshoppers and not any dragon-flies she enjoyed observing them very much as they walked and hopped inside the box. Then she asked me to bring some leaves for grasshoppers to eat which I did. Plus I gave them pieces of some fruits as well. They took special interest in banana.

After playing with and observing the grasshoppers for some time my niece asked me to release them. I said OK. So I first took some photos of them and then we both went to lawn of our home where she released them. After that she kept observing there movement and when they flew away we came back inside of our home.
