A giant grasshopper landed on Milkweed Planet today. The inhabitants were terrified and hid underneath the pods. If you look in the bottom right corner, you can see one of the the milkweed bugs hiding.
I apologize for "Milking the milkweed plant for all it's worth," but it's getting harder to find insects with the colder nights. So far, there are still new insects and spiders on the milkweed everyday. :0)
Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's pics!!! I'm posting a bit of fall in my other album. :0)
Fav! You're getting some amazing background colours in your shots lately! And the detail in this (especially the eyes) is just incredible! So much to look at and enjoy here!
Wonder if this guy is a brother to the chap that appeared on the 11th September. I don't blame the little milkweed bugs hiding I think I would to if something this big landed near me. Great capture.
Great capture. Love the fact that you got the scared milkweed bug. I must start hanging around our milkweed plants; I'm getting a bit tired of frogs and hoverflies!
Thank you for fav my pic. I do fav yours because it`s a marvelous beatiful pic.
