This lubber grasshopper was on one of my wife's lily seed pods towards the end of last month.

Wonderful shot. Incredibly sharp with very nice background. Did you get to shoot him afew times/experiment with settings or did he blast off pretty quickly?

Thanks, y'all.

I got to "work" him & some adjacent spiders for about a half hour... I think it took me longer to sort images than it did to shoot them.

So many creature species in the world, each a unique and marvelous creation! Great shot!

Nice shot Robert, I wondered what you called these things.

I love this shot. The BG is a little bright, but the composition is great and the detail is just wonderful. :)
