p.1 #1 · #341 Ahhh Grasshoppa...

Nothing SPECTACULAR, but I just bought Kenko extension tubes to try out.

I love C+C; the more honest the better.

Thank you so much for taking a peek!

Background: This is an Eastern Lubber in the early stage of life. They go from this black color, to brownish to a very pretty yellow in August like this: http://entnem.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/lubber_interadult.htm

When they become yellow they are about the size of my palm. This isn't Australia, but in Tampa that is humongous!

Nice focus on the eye and antennae and beautiful color. Was there a subtle reference to an old TV show in the title? ;-)

Wonderful color, sharp focus and will be a meal for my praying mantises when they grow up

All kidding aside, very nice shot and the best of luck.

Heh, the praying mantises are allowed over for dinner anytime. These grasshoppers are eating everything! Thanks.
