I tried to get a close-up of this grasshopper, but I'm afraid this is the best I could do :-{

Have a Date Gray!

    Not going to try to snatch that one from your hand! I would slop my dripper running from it, looks mean up close and personal

    Thanks Laura: Yeah, I was pretty close - it was one of those once in a lifetime shots - he took off momentarily, never to be seen or heard from again :-}

    Reminds me of the 'bad guys' in 'A Bugs Life'. Did you ever see that? They looked just like this. Mean and ugly. LOL Great shot.

    The photographie is impressive, Bill… even if I shiver in front of these small creatures, I recognize the beauty of the catch of sight.
    Congratulations !!!

    It looks huge! You got closer than I ever would've wanted to. Nice shot and you caught it just in the nick of time before it flew the coop.
