I have found this tiny grasshopper perching between the greens and yellows this morning. To have spotted this critter in a small corner of this vast forest, and without much effort and time, was simply unexplainable.
There was then no hesitation for my next action since we were fated to meet each other, at this moment. This moment would be erased within seconds, and left behind no traces.

I lifted a piece of leaf and moved my camera through gently and carefully for a closer encounter.
"Hello! Hello! Can you please adjust your pose a little bit?" I had to move myself then since it seemed to be a one-way communication.
I squeezed myself further into the bushes. It could smell a man better by now, but hopefully it would never confuse the smell of a man with that of sweat.
Oops!! It hopped, and was forever gone.
It appeared from nowhere, and had to return there finally.

Very cute explanation! I like how it looks to be studded with little jewels.
Seeing this grasshopper closeup is a real treat. What a great find, it was meant for you to see him. He posed just enough for you to capture his entire essence :) great job Rainfield.
Very cute little fellow, now gone to the nowhere he came from!
You made use of that few seconds of opportunity, before he hops for his next destination.
Happy Holiday! ;)
This forest grasshopper definitely looks more handsome than the one I found in my garden. This one has 'beads' around its body and head.
fantastic shots...nice view!!

Your last sentence is wonderful (as is the rest of your post).
The little thing must have thought that the smell of a man is a real threat, as registered in its library of brain cells.... How would the poor thing know that man is so sweet and harmless.... haha... if things are constantly agreeable that is. ~bangchik

You were glad to see this grasshopper, and it was glad to go. We see these creatures as beautiful. I wonder how they see us.
and you captured it well before it leaped through nowhere =)
