As much as the title sounds very awkward, it is actually rather fitting seeing as "Open Happiness" is currently the slogan for the Coca Cola commercials, right?

Besides that, let me introduce you to the story of how I managed to get a picture of this grasshopper like this.

For whatever reason, I was in the backyard, and when I came back inside the house, I found this creature on my left shoulder, and I must say I was rather freaked out at first! However, after a few minutes of chasing it in the kitchen (and let me say, these things jump rather quickly), we managed to get it in a Ziploc Bag. I actually felt sorry for it being trapped with a very limited supply of oxygen, and not to mention, I wanted to desperately take a picture of something this neat, so I grabbed one of the collectible Coca Cola cups in the cabinet and slowly fitted it into the cup and left it outside while I ran back in to grab my camera.

The first picture you see here is the grasshopper desperately trying to get away because unlike the Ziploc Bag, this cup has very limited space for it to move around, so you can imagine how freaked out it must have been. But do not worry. As you will see in my next few pictures, I let it go free in the end!
