'Six legged green hydrangea hopper' of course. Sorry that I can't give you the Latin name. They prefer blue hydragea above pink hydrangea, that's the reason I wasn't able to capture it (lol). John, I think you have your camera 24 hours a day with you, as you fixed it to post the other unique capture after another. I only can say: "Very good job again." Regards, Cornelius
Wow, the flowers in the background are positively ethereal, and the grasshopper is so bright! Absolutely gorgeous colors, if it weren't an insect (I get grossed out) it would go in my favorites immediately!
Just super...the colors are knockouts all by themselves, and then you go and put this perfect macroed green meanie on it. Doesn't get any better, my friend. :)
Great macro image John. I love the color and depth of field on this one. You also have a very fine gallery. I must come back for a visit when I have more time.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Wow! I think this is simply fantastic! Perfect lighting and angle...and the detail is marvelous! There is just a great feeling about this photo, and I think it's a big "10"!
"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
