Tiny Grasshopper Macro

A tiny grasshopper sitting on a Clivia Flower stamen. He refused to turn around for me in this position.

 

These flowers, which are under my front deck, were a hive of activity this morning after some long awaited rain over the last couple of days. I spotted this grasshopper, a snail, spiders, bees and other assorted flying insects dropping by to inspect the offerings - all within the space of 5 minutes and within about 10cm of each other. It's an amazing world that a macro lens allows you to discover.
