p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Meadow Grasshopper Feeding


This is a female (ovipositor small in this species) Meadow Grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus.

This is the same individual as in the images I recently posted. Here I reveal how I got them.

These grasshoppers do not like being stalked. It is an achievement to get even a single good image. When I saw this one through my viewfinder I saw the chance to get a few shots. This is because, very unusually, it was feeding. It was, very slowly, pushing a very long, thin grass stem into its mouth. Afraid of disturbing it, I stayed in more or less the same position for these shots. Afterwards, I was able to move around more for the images previously uploaded.

EM-1 (manual mode), Kiron 105, f16, twin TTL RC flash, hand-held.
