Grassland Broad Jumper

Don't know why he needs wings; he can jump a country mile! I should know; I followed him all over the place. :D I must have tuckered him out, since he finally let me nose right up for a photo.
(Note: He is actually poised on a vertical fence post; I rotated the photo to see him better.)

Wow ... what beautiful lighting and clarity, Les. I can't catch insects for the life of me. Have been following them all summer! This is awesome. FAV.

Let me reiterate the "Wow!" reaction. :-) He's really neat! I caught a honey bee in one of my pictures on Tuesday, but it was an accident, not on purpose. Well done!

@karenann Much appreciated Karenann, and thank so much for the fav! (When I try to get insects, I do A LOT of just watching them first, see what they do, how they move. it helps me anticipate their movement, and increases my chances of getting a shot.) Take good care, Les x
