I'll be hopping along now

There were some wonderful cedar branch rockers on the porch of our cabin in the Texas Hill Country last week. This little fellow (he was maybe one inch long) just sat on the arm of my rocker, he didn't budge even when I was two inches away. I think he thought he was invisible!

Great capture

[Bep]

Wonderful macro.

[Henri Russell]

Great close up. Grasshoppers can be very possessive of their space. He was probably waiting for you to move.

[Louise & Ken]

I swear, I thought this was a little carved grasshopper! Look at that face! He's quite adorable!

[Gayle]

Wonderful capture, Lou Ann! So nice that he sat motionless and posed for you. :-)

[Cindy McFarland]

Such a sweet capture! Fav.

[Babs]

You did so well to capture him before he hopped off.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great close-up! These fellows are really fascinating in so many ways. How nice of him to sit still so you could take a picture.

[Valerie Chesney]

What a great capture....

[Connie Little]

Great find and a wonderful closeup. How kind of it to sit and pose for you. I agree with Henri. It was probably waiting for you to move.

[Claude Trew]

Well spotted and wonderful macro.
