Macro Monday - Friendly grasshopper

Picture 133
This little fella paid us a visit while we were having tea break yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised that it allowed me to get as close as I did.

This critter was very co-operative and managed to deliver a few cool poses before hopping away.

A great model and I think it likes being the center of attention .

  3. This is a beautiful shot of the grasshopper LR but if it was me, I don't think I'd be brave enough to capture one this close... scared they jump/fly towards me!

  9. We have grasshoppers in OZ they're called locusts and are about three times the size of this little fellow. A swarm of locusts can number in the millions, they actually block out the sunlight when on the march and eat everything in sight until nothings left.

  17. Amazing shots. I don't think I have ever seen such perfect pictures of a grasshopper before. I have heard plenty of them over the years, but I think I have only every managed to actually see one live for about 2 seconds...
