Grasshopper #1

I spotted this grasshopper through my front window, so quickly grabbed the camera and fired off a few shots. I needn't have been so hurried though, since he turned out to be quite the co-operative model. I can't decide which of the four I like best, so expect three more over the next few days. The photoblogs.org add/update page has finally been fixed, so you can now add Montage as a bookmark/favourite by Clicking Here

• It’s a beaut, Heath. I find these critters fascinating because they look so mechanical : constructed as if they could be unbolted for repair. Looking forward to the other shots.

• Great closeup!! I love grasshoppers (not the drink but the insect) ;o)

• Great macro. I agree - quite mechanical. :)

• I can't stand creepy things like this, but I do know a quality photograph when I see one. I don't know what species this one would be, but I just looked through Wikipedia and nobody has a photo this good to offer a link to.

• Ah I've always wanted to capture, but I never can find one at the right time.
  Great shot, the ones around here greener!

• That's a pretty neat opportunistic shot - what lens did you use?

• its those small twitchy grasshopers that are always unco-operative, the big ones are rather friendly!
