Captured a nice grasshopper resting on a red flower.
This guy is huge hence the great detail. I think this could have been a better shot if I just re-positioned myself to get a better background. The gray background kind of bugs me.
Shot at the local park where joggers and children come to play. Also a great spot to go bug photo hunting.
