I guess it doesn't come off as very interesting without a proper sense of scale. To get an idea of it, look at your pinky and imagine this little fellow being at most about half the length of it in entirety. That might still be overstating it a bit.

That is an amazingly beautiful shot...


and an amazingly cool grasshopper. Love the colours!

*Blush* thank you. I was curious how people would see it since it does lean a bit more on the technique side of things. Of course though, it's just fun to show people things they might not usually see :)

I thought it was a rather interesting find indeed, certainly quite eye catching in terms of coloring. The little grasshopper seemed pretty relaxed about posing for me too :) Often they can be rather sensitive about someone getting so close. I always try not to bother them too much though.

I have to say I've not come across too many people with insect avatars before, interesting to meet you.

There's a few bug enthusiasts aroundSuch gorgeous critters!

 whitemantis is always great to watch.

Enjoying your macro photography!

That's a pretty interesting mix of oriental and insect :) Thanks for pointing them out. It's always nice to see something a bit different being done.

I think I might have some more insect macro to show you later on :)

Well you've gone and inspired me to post the full view of the critter in question, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11383908/ :)
