Hopper with a Needle

Ok, it's a dodgy connection to today's word (needle), but it's so rare for me to see a little hopper, I had to get a shot of him before he leapt away. Hear them very occasionally - this one got into the house somehow which is the only reason I spotted him. (Took him outside into daylight for this shot!) He seemed to only have one straight antenna and a gammy leg, but plenty of attitude and he hopped off just as I was thinking of getting a tomato for him to sit on...! Tiny little guy, I couldn't believe how much more I could see through the camera lens.
You are all super-smashing and jolly gorgeous too - thank you for calling by to see my little offerings! Mwah
Great shot Phil

Fabulous - he has been through the wars! what a gorgeous wee guy - I thought for a second you'd discovered a unicorn hopper.

Don't feel bad- I would have posted the hopper too. I have stretched the last two words beyond recognition. Storm and animal? Tiger Lily and sparkle? But that was because the shot of the day had to be and the words took second place. lol It's a good exercise to make them work. Keeps our brains functioning!
