Sue posts a Japanese Beetle, I post a Japanese Beetle. Sue posts a Baby Grasshopper, I post a Baby Grasshopper. Will it ever end...?

And a much better image then my baby hopper. A real cutie, this one and in a nice environment.

I think the photo works very well with all the greens and different angles in there. Very sharp and like Sue says "A real cutie" of a subject.

Thanks Sue, Doug

This little guy really did not want his photograph taken. It was sort of like squirrel hunting.

I would get to one side where I could get a full shot of it and then it would move around to the backside of the stem where I could not see it. Think I may get a hunting dog to chase out my subjects.

They will move when you move. A behavior that makes them so cute. They "peek" out behind their hidy hole and watch you
