Description
This morning I discovered this very strange insect sitting on the door to my veranda. I think he has an excellent green color and a very stylish red spot, not to mention some impressively long antennae! Does anyone have any idea what kind of insect this might be? Strangely enough, he has barely moved from that one spot all day! (Taken August 17, 2005)

a Belgian grass hopper? (may be, but they also appear over here from time to time, so they definitely can move...;-))
Wonderful macro (rubs neck agressively from turning head side-ways to see insect horizontally:-) - might consider a horizontal presentation for us old guys not to break our necks :-) Superb image!
JEROEN....OH JEROEEEEEEN!!! Your expertis is needed!!! It looks like some kind of grashopper...but still not...hmmm....no matter what it is, you sure got a cool macro of it. LMAO, i love that you dated this one....are you planning on showing its location in a week or so? Would be a cool series though...ooops...me rambling...will stop now. Beautiful capture! Have a great day #:O)
Remarkable bug, yes, we need Jeroen! Great capture, bright green as it is!
diomedes66, that's exactly how he was standing, upside down. I thought it accentuated his bizarre appearance. Sorry about the neck cramp. :) Thank you all for your comments! Is Jeroen a bug expert? :)
Jeroen (Enmos at RR) is certainly a bug expert. I'm pretty sure it's a Bush-cricket, but I don't know which species, but I suspect Jeroen can help with that if he comes by... Great find!
what an interesting.. bug.. love the colors!
Very curious animal. Your macro must be excellent for having such a detail quality on an insect which, I guess, must be quite small...
