Hi there Nikola!

A warm and hearty welcome back!

And what a stunning picture you have chosen on the occasion of your reappearance after such a long time!
Very nice, so many beautiful things to look at and great colours in this photo.

Hope you will have time to post more regularly again from now on.

Hi Nikola - A very pleasing composition, contrasting the delicate and colourful beauty of the flower (really great job there!) with the almost monochrome, armoured exoskeleton of your hopper (is it a bush cricket?).

Lovely shot!

However, "plant hopper"? This looks like a male bush cricket (katydid) to me.
