Grasshopper Nymph (+PiP)

Grasshopper Nymph (+PiP)
I spotted this little green creature in amongst the leaves of my lilac tree. I managed two photos only before it hopped off onto the lawn and away.

Better viewed large if you have time. Thanks for looking.

Keith Burton club has replied to Günter Klaus club
Glad you like these Güni...........I was surprised to see it in the tree as I usually see these on the ground.........but it was much easier to photograph it as it was almost at my eye level :-)

Thanks as always for your kind and thoughtful comments.

So wäre es immer schön lieber Keith,da würde sich das Kreuz und die Knie mehr freuen,wenn man fast alles in Augenhöhe fotografieren könnte,aber wenn man was Tolles am Boden entdeckt,zieht es einen immer runter,hahahaha :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Ha, ha.......you're quite right of course :-)). Getting down is quite easy..........but in my case, getting back up again is sometimes quite an effort!

I think you must go around your garden with a Sherlock Homes style magnifying glass Keith. A couple more great macro insect shots here. Both very good with detail where it matters. Well done.

Enjoy the weekend. Herb

Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Needs must Herb..............if we don't go out, I still like to get my photographic fix!

I could actually do with a magnifying glass, the way my eyesight is going at the moment :-)))

Glad you like the shots though...........and thank you.

Its camouflage is good but not as good as your eyes and speed with a camera Keith,
Two excellent close up mages with amazing detail and great colour,
you really should be pleased with these !

Keith Burton club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Haha.........it's mistake was jumping from one leaf to another.......if it had kept still I might have missed it, especially as I wasn't expecting to find one of these in the lilac tree :-))

Thanks for your kind and well considered comments Roger.
