Grasshoppers always look so intricate, nice images Nikola

. Using turkey and duck feathers I can almost tye a good imitation on a no. 8 long shank hook. Of course a little fine "rabbit dubbing" and "larva lace" to dress up the abdomen doesn't hurt either. Tye off with 12/0 silk. Great for a little warm water bluegill fish'n.

Top down he is very hard to see. Great picture and Desert camouflage. F11 gave you some nice DOF. Are these two different hoppers?

Thanks guys.

Yep Doug, same guy on both pics. I was photographing him several minutes.

Hey, who got 400D

Doug
I am so glad Santa brought you a new camera too. You must have been as good as I was last year!!

Nikola
Excellent shots Nikola. This grasshopper certainly blends in well with the background.

Yep, a brand new 400D. Now I gotta see if I am man enough to use it
