Wow, I like this kind of photo. I'm not that good at counting, but I see four hoppers here. Started out with only one

cheers
Erland

**edit**

I'm down to three now

Could be four if you count what appears to be and extra set of antennae in the upper right of the frame. I like this image too, seems to have a surreal quality about it. Very nice work Nikola, thanks!

Very Artistic Nikola....I only see three. I count three pair of antenna and five hopping legs (looks like the top one is missing a leg)

[MacroLuv]

Thanks folks! Yep, three hoppers, two green and one yellow.

... I count three pair of antenna and five hopping legs (looks like the top one is missing a leg)

It only looks because of angle and position of leg. However, Doug you are right about missing leg but you pointed on wrong guy (and wrong leg).
Yellow one (most right on photo) missing one fore right leg. Here is another photograph with longer exposure (1/500 s, first 1/1600s) and not stright to sun direction so more rich in colors:
