Hi Kate,
wow, what a wonderful hoppy. The colours are marvelous, we don't have such pretty hoppers here in Germany. Sharpness is excellent.

Hi Kate; great title; humourous.
Impressive creature; nothing for the bedroom.
Thanks

The colours are lovely here. Good sharp image.

Great macro.Good focus from top to bottom. Are those colours for real? I wish I had taken it. Brilliant.

The fly is really creating a sense of size here! Wonderful macro, Kate! Excellent DOF and light. Job well done!

This is an amazing macro, Kate. The colours are so rich and it is very sharp. I like the little fly on the right which gives us a true feel for the sizze of the locust. Well done!

About the scale... i admit i don't mind lol! I see flys so many time... Now all my attention is on that huge and curious insect. But thanks to the fly for the scale!
Great colors! I like the precision of that shot.
Hey i realise me too often we can see insect stay on a leaf when there is sun.
I suppose they lake to relax under the sun too :)

Hello Kate,
This is a huge bug, you capture it very well and I like this composition with the fly to scale it. The colors are excellent, so is the sharpness. TFS

Hi Kate,
Amazing macro shot! I like the sharpness, the bright and vivid colours and the sharpness very much. This bug is interesting indeed, to tell the truth, I have never seen such a creature before. Simply great, Kate! Congratulations!
Best wishes,
Kristof
