Another one of my adventurous accidental shots. I went outside to take a few practice shots of flowers with my macro lens when I saw this grasshopper jump from out of my path and an idea to take a sot of him popped in my mind. It took me a little while to get him to settle down from his grass hopping to pose for a photos.

Great portrait, captured in daylight when they are so quick and fast! Though they can destroy harvests I like these naughty boys very much as individuals (not as an army) - isn't that also the case with people among each other? - I changed my picture for tomorrow because I want to show you a glass hopper (no typing error: glass hopper) on my front door shot at night when they are slow enough.

Great CAPTURE - i know your struggle, i have tried to take pictures of this cute little frog & jeez did he just jump and hop till he hid away.... i'm glad your patience paid off for the photo of this little guy or gal, i'm not good at identifying girl or boy grasshoppers ;)
