in photography •  7 years ago 


The hard chitinous face of the Grasshopper can be quite taciturn or display a charming innocence:

Quite some range without being able to move their faces at all!

The Mantis seems to say: "Yes, interesting story human. I shall how eat you. All glory to the Swarm Overlord!"

Well, it's not wrong.

Awesome pictures like it and upvoted.....

Thanks @mianfahad2!

Tiny aliens :D Awesome macros!

Thank you @goldenroom!

How do you get close enough to take a photo without them jumping away? i imagine it takes a lot of patience?

Yes, move very slowly and be prepared to fail a few times too! Also, it helps if your shadow doesn't fall on them.

Wow. . Good shoot. . Thankyou for sharing @mweich

Thanks for taking the time to comment and show your support @nazarwills!

Excellent photos! If you look closely you see the wonderful design these creatures have.

It's quite amazing!

Wow. The detail is stunning. The brown to green face contrast does have a completely different feel.

Very very different, the top on doesn't look all that happy. :P

As a matter of perception...the top one does look as though it is a nasty little bugger. So in reality the nice gentle green one is most likely the killer!

Vow, I like it, amazing macro pic.

Thank you very much @arx27!

wow .. a very detailed grasshopper photo. i like my friend

Yeah, rather hard to spot on the sand though! Thanks!

You are welcome. yes i can feel the difficulty.
