This is a departure for you, and I am not even sure what it is! Impressive nevertheless.

Very cool macro Dov. I'm with William, what is it? I know it isn't a dragonfly. Congrats on POTD!

thanks bill and Kathy. It's a common brown grasshopper, we have the green and brown kinds here, this one visited my kitchen and stayed for a shooting session:)

Great capture Dov! I never knew grasshoppers were so ugly :) Did you receive the email I sent last night?

Boy, that FZ8 of yours is getting a real workout! And, we should add, coming up with some really quality stuff. I'm with Bill; don't know what it is but viewing from a distance is fine with me. Kudos!

Dynamic and impressive look with great closeness...very different looking grasshopper from the ones we see in Florida! Congratulations on your win today!

A perfect macro of that beast-looking grasshoper, Dov. Big congratulations!

Wow, now this is really up close & personal like. Love your title & the unique look in those eyes. Congrats on a fascinating macro winner, Dov!
