Sunbathing

This little grasshoppper made me laugh. He looked so totally relaxed on this leaf. I took a couple of shots and he didn't move. I thought I better check to see if he was alive! He was and I disturbed his fun in the sun. He hopped away in a huff. :0)

Thank you for all the wonderful comments and faves for yesterday's butterfly pics!!! :0)

forgot to mention, congrats on your top 20 last week carolyn. well deserved, that was an awesome pic!

[Trina P Holub]

That is a really sweet photo! He does look like he's sunbathing, and his eyes even look closed somehow...you can't see his pupil :-) Cool

@sunnygreenwood Thank you Anne! My mother was so excited that a pic of her flower was popular. She has lots of gorgeous flowers. Alas, I didn't inherit the green thumb. :0)

The brown part makes him appear to have a mohawk! Haha! Love his waxy look and the leaf's fuzzy texture.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Good composition and detail. I didn't know that insects sunbathed until I started taking their pictures with a digital camera!

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

He was trying to be one with the leaf...camo style. I guess it didn't fool ya! Nice capture.

Cute little hopper.

I agree that he is hidden well. Good job spotting him. :)

He probably thought he was so nicely camouflaged that you didn't really see him.
