Ready to jump!

This little grasshopper was only about a centimetre long. I love his big head and boxy shape!

Great macro and timing, they are difficult to capture at times

Looks like one big grasshopper. :-) Nice macro.

Great colour contrast - really well captured.

Nice macro. Can hardly believe it's just one cm.

@woofandweft1 - yes, I'm not so good at the striding out serious walking though! I also tend to get totally bogged down in looking closely at something and half an hour will go by without me noticing .... much to my dog's annoyance!

@vtalbott @365projectorgchristinewebb @yeshanghai @jomo @thewatersphotos @jomo @thewatersphotos - Thanks! They just seem to be appearing now. No doubt the grass will be full of them before long.

@mbmomentsintime - they are indeed... this one hopped off about 10 times before I caught him properly. He probably had to pause to regain his energy!

@rickster549 - he was actually quite tiny, but I gree that the close up makes him look huge!

@anthonyt @gijsje - thanks!
