I used this picture as a wallpaper but it turned out to frighten my colleague away. Is the grasshopper so ugly, with the left and right of its face so well-balanced and symmetrical, as how I have found myself in the mirror?
I have had so far dark brown, green and orange grasshoppers in my checklist. There maybe some pink, purple, or blue grasshoppers in the wild. Why not? Life is so colorful!
Nevertheless, this insect refused to leave when I said bye-bye, I had to stamp my feet instead, but it chose to stay not too far away, watching at me:
“Hi friend, I am actually your host.”

What awesome shots Rain!! I think he is beautiful!!
Nice pic. No wonder your colleague freaked out! LOL! :D
Fabulous macros of this little guy!!!
I think it's kind of cute and almost looks like it has a little beard.
Wow..fantastic macro of this grasshopper's face, and the color is very beautiful, Rainfield.
somehow am not talented to take insect pics. the patience i guess i am lacking.
so i'm a guest too. great host, huh! ~Cher
These are wonderful pictures of your host. I don't understand how his picture could frighten your colleague. You did a wonderful job with all of these photos.
Yellow grasshopper? I haven't seen one like that. Sexy pink like the heliconia? That would be really interesting.
Great pictures of your host!
Pretty fella!
how do you get them to stay still for your pictures rainfield? the first shot's a bit freaky, but the others make him look really good!
I can assure you, he is very charming..ugly never crossed my mind. Birds are just lovely models..these guys have charisma! Their expressions are priceless! You maybe catch your subjects when lost..I take advantage when they've lost a battle (heh heh)-:))
I still keep this picture as my wallpaper. It is as beautiful as you all.
LOL.
no, it's not ugly at all, it is awesome, love the expression in tis eyes.
I think your colleague's just not fond of insects? And definitely not know how to appreciate the art of photography! NICE!
It must be good I can put both yours and the face of the grasshopper side by side.
Who is more handsome?
I think you are more handsome so thats why he wont go away, he's admiring you!Or he likes his photos taken n he doesnt mind posing for you! Great shots as always Rainfield..
I like the last photo. Great looking little fella.
host and guest! yeah i am a guest!!
Wow, I never was particularly attracted to grasshoppers but your photos of this little guy ( or could it be a gal? ) show such a cute, expressive critter. I think I'm falling in love.
I think he is cute! Fantastic shots of the grasshopper, Rainfield!
i thought it's a cricket
Wow! Beautiful macro shots! Awesome critter.
Rainfield, to me, he is kinda cute. I've not seen one closeup so this is a treat :)
That was an awesome shot! Great Macro Shot! Maybe it is too sharp and look so real that they were scared it will jump out of your monitor.
Not at all creepy.. I find that smiling face really cute! =D
Love that last pic the best. The rusty colors look like a red carpet rolled out for this lil VIP here. ^__^
absolutely exquisite shots!
absolutely exquisite shots!
He has an awesome looking face, a little intimidating at first, but very charismatic!
