grasshopper

How to tell the difference between a gardener and a photographer...found this eating the leafs on my mandarin tree and ran for the camera not the bug spray :)

So glad you didn't get the bug spray out. It's got such a photogenic little face!

[Susie]

Great capture

[Marcy]

Love the photo and what a funny story!

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic macro.

[Sherrill]

@paracosmia he/she was way to cute for me to worry about a few chewed leafs :)

@susie1205 thanks Susie

@marcy0414 ta Marcy, owning a camera has it's advantages. Once I would never have got that close to bugs or insects :)

[Sherrill]

@agedrunner thank you so much Richard

[Connie Little]

Great shot. He has a surprised look on his face. I find myself taking photos of all sorts of bugs now too.

[Laura]

Amazing close up.

Having just taken a grasshopper shot myself yesterday, I commend you for yours. Particularly the amount of detail you achieved. He seems a brighter green than mine. I wonder if that is due to the difference in the color of the leaves.

[Sarah]

Great image well done

[Sherrill]

@littleconnie hahaha Connie, the surprised look is probably the bright flash :)

[Sherrill]

@lstasel thanks Laura

[Sherrill]

@mbrutus thanks...I love your grasshopper shot, they don't seem to mind being the centre of attention :)

[Sherrill]

@sarahlth thank you :)

[Ron]

That's an awesome comparison between people types. We can all identify! Most of us don't have the good fortune to have the little guy remain in place like this though! Great capture!

[Sherrill]

@stray_shooter thanks Ron, so true usually the disappear as soon as I go to get the camera but this one hung around and today he had a friend with him :)

[M. Brutus]

@winshez No they don't.

[Dee L.]

Nice! I love that you captured the blue of his eyes. So pretty.

[Sherrill]

@flygirl thanks once again Dee
