Locustella naevia

Seems to be more of these arriving this year. Heard at least 6 different birds this morning

Macro f/6.3. It was actually shot with a Sony telephoto lens @ 525mm APS-C. I was standing maybe 7-8 feet from the grasshopper. Love this lens.

 

The wildflower is a cocklebur.

 

Grasshopper is/was 2" long. Image is approximately 2.75" W x 1.85" H.

Another shot of this wonderful warbler taken earlier in the year

I didn't see this little guy until after I took the shot.

Romalea guttata?

Columbia, South Carolina. USA

kinda looks like an alien!

Loggerheaded Shrikes stick their prey on barbed wire (or any other spikey thing like cactus) to eat later. Husband saw the Shrike I saw the grasshopper.

This guy was on the outside of the sliding glass door to our deck. The photo was shot from inside the house looking out; the parallel vertical lines of the deck rail supports are visible in bokeh.

The imprisonment for coronavirus does not allow me to go around taking pictures, but luckily she came to see me on the balcony. #istayathome but insects can come out

La reclusione per il coronavirus non mi permette di andare in giro a fare foto, ma per fortuna lei è venuta a trovarmi sul balcone. #iorestoacasa ma gli insetti possono uscire

Anita and I had the most wonderful and Long day out yesterday! (14 hours!) Different people often are interested in riding along with us but we tell them they must be prepared to endure a 12-14 hour day riding, which sometimes includes backtracking, getting sidetracked or just going in circles! They will change their minds at this point! We were headed to what we call the "Fairy Forest" in West Virginia and I do have photos of that to come! But of course we stopped along the way and were sidetracked often. I found this little fellow in a small garden on Mainstreet in the village of Durbin West Virginia, population about 225 people. This is a small railroad town where you can catch an excursion train and where I visited once ten years ago, a few months after the death of my husband. It was my first solo trip without him and so this town holds some memories for me. And now, I've made more! :D Hope you all had a brilliant weekend and are now enjoying a wonderful start to your week.

Also, after looking at this more over the past year, I'm really amazed how well this turned out for f/20. I think the bright, direct mid-day summer sunlight reflecting off the smooth, light colored concrete helped to fill in the light on the underside of the insect. I think that was also why I was able to still retain some color in the sky shooting that stopped down, which otherwise would have been black at another time of day. I was also using a 16mm extension tube, which has a negligible effect on magnification, but it does reduce light even more (at least that is my understanding of tubes).

This was one of the coolest looking Grasshoppers that I've ever seen. I took a photo of it while I was kayaking at Blackwater. Right after I took this photo it jumped onto my hand and I had a hard time getting it to go back onto the reeds. Photographed in Maryland.

Focus stack of 6 images, shot with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE 65mm macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400.

This obliging little grasshopper sat nicely and posed for a few shots for me yesterday. Taken handheld while sat by the side of a local pond It was fantastic to see and hear so much wildlife around me.
