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!!
ReplyDeleteNice pic. No wonder your colleague freaked out! LOL! :D
ReplyDeleteFabulous macros of this little guy!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of cute and almost looks like it has a little beard.
ReplyDeleteWow..fantastic macro of this grasshopper's face, and the color is very beautiful, Rainfield.
ReplyDeletesomehow am not talented to take insect pics. the patience i guess i am lacking.
ReplyDeleteso i'm a guest too. great host, huh! ~Cher
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteYellow grasshopper? I haven't seen one like that. Sexy pink like the heliconia? That would be really interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of your host!
ReplyDeletePretty fella!
ReplyDeletehow 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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)-:))
ReplyDeleteI still keep this picture as my wallpaper. It is as beautiful as you all.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
no, it's not ugly at all, it is awesome, love the expression in tis eyes.
ReplyDeleteI think your colleague's just not fond of insects? And definitely not know how to appreciate the art of photography! NICE!
ReplyDeleteIt must be good I can put both yours and the face of the grasshopper side by side.
ReplyDeleteWho 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..
ReplyDeleteI like the last photo. Great looking little fella.
ReplyDeletehost and guest! yeah i am a guest!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeleteI think he is cute! Fantastic shots of the grasshopper, Rainfield!
ReplyDeletei thought it's a cricket
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful macro shots! Awesome critter.
ReplyDeleteRainfield, to me, he is kinda cute. I've not seen one closeup so this is a treat :)
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteNot at all creepy.. I find that smiling face really cute! =D
ReplyDeleteLove that last pic the best. The rusty colors look like a red carpet rolled out for this lil VIP here. ^__^
absolutely exquisite shots!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely exquisite shots!
ReplyDeleteHe has an awesome looking face, a little intimidating at first, but very charismatic!
