Hello,

I shot these guys last summer in Carlsbad, NM.
I tried to search on the net the correct ID but I didn't manage to find it. I am not an expert and there are a lot of them!

40D
70-300 @300
f6,3
1/3200
ISO 640
Thank you for looking
C&C are welcome :wavey:

Nice capture. The DOF is just right. Well done.

Very sharp and detailed with natural colors Monica. Well isolated in the frame and great comp.
Good POV from the front @ 45 degrees, you can see both of those hot & bothered faces nicely:wink:
Well done :toast:

Great find. Nice details and comp, and the pair stands out nicely from the bg. I like the wide-eyed look on their faces :wink: Excellent!

Great placement....I mean the placement of the bugs in the photo not the placement of the bug on the other .... well never mind. :jump:
With the buffoonery aside, nice capture of these two bugs. I like the great detail in the bugs with the shallow DOF. The bugs are grass hoppers but I'm not sure of the exact species.
Nice find.
