Scene from a Hitchcock movie

This was a small guy compared to some of them..he measured 3-4 inches long and 1 in in diameter....HUGE

He looks sentient perched upon the sunflower. I think I'd be creeped out by a hopper that large, but he looks pretty in his picture.

They are def creepy..and there are 100s of them out here

I love shooting grasshoppers and you did a fine job on this one!!

Thank you Jim. There were PLENTY of them to shoot at

Very good image, Patrick -- one or two are not too bad; hundreds of them is a different story. That one looks like it can eat lots of plants.

Sad thing is I forgot the 3rd "0" in my original post.. should have been 1000's of them..only good thing about them other than photo opps they are bringing wild turkeys to the lease. I have not had the opportunity to shoot (photo not gun) wild turkeys so next time I go I will hopefully be posting gobbler pics.
