A Nosey Subject
Taken today whilst trying to get a Butterfly, could I get one? NOPE. Got this fella instead & lots of his friends.

Insect day today & my god they are ugly lol.

D70 - Sigma 105mm Macro (Handheld with grasshopper on the other hand, whilst led down in stinging nettles struggling with the right settings lol, Complete madness):jump:

ISO 200, F6.3, 1/250sec

LOL, they're not ugly, just interesting! I like grasshoppers, crickets and locusts cos if you get a close up of their faces, they have real character to them.

Nice shot.

Hi Vince,

Excellent close-up with amazing detail.
Composition and the frame filling subject work a treat,IMO.
