wonderful shot .. lucky you ..he sat still..I was chasing many all over the place the other day and none of them stayed still long enough
excellent image!!!!
Great shot! Wonderful clarity on the detailing. Grasshoppers/cockroaches ETC always look to me like they were designed by master craftsman from a much more advanced race than our own. There's something amazingly intricate and complex about all the different parts. Nicely captured!
All the above, Dana!
My favorite part of a grasshopper is the mouth. It's SO complicated! I also love the eyes, especially when the grasshopper in question is kind enough to let you get close enough for a decent macro. Chicago grasshoppers are a flighty bunch at times, despite my success at photographically capturing a number of them last year. This year I've had little luck. Oh well...at least you got this beauty, and of course the first thing I did was zoom and look at the mouth-parts (many of which are visible in the most fascinating of ways.) Grasshoppers have such cool knees too! This is a great shot and I'm glad to see it.
great shot.. zoom is a must indeed
Great in zoom, he is amazing!!!!
