Southern Lubber Grasshopper!

Looks like something out of the monster movies to me. This is one of the biggest ones that I've seen.

I had never looked at them up close until 365 - they are really fascinating - you sure got some great detail. Fav

@milaniet Thanks Milanie. I hadn't really seen these things around here before. Guess I'm looking a little closer at things these days.

Terrific capture :)

Great shot, fantastic markings.

Amazing close up. Looks like quite a beast.

You have almost the same camera as me but your photos are so much more fab (that's not very good English, lol!). Do you use a tripod?

@gilbertwood @tj22 @nickspicsnz Thanks all, really appreciate all of the comments, view's and fav's.

@nickspicsnz Hi Nick. Most of the time I just use a mono-pod. Usually just use the tripod for the sunsets. Almost need to use the tripod more, as I just cant seem to get the crisp, clear shots that I would like.

@claycameras Thanks Carissa.
