I found this grasshopper in the reed.I heard the typical sound and folowed it, than i bumbed on this guy/female(?).It was around 7 or 8 cm.I think it's a Tettigonia viridissima, great green grasshopper, but i'm not sure.I found some info on wikepedia, wich i translated so there may be some faults :)

Most people think these grasshoppers are harmful to there gardens, but exely this species is kinda useful.The food mainly exists of other insects that live on plants.The preys are grabbed with the stingy frontleggs and cut in pieces with the strong jaws.Sometimes they shew on plants but other insects,in wich other grasshoppers, are the most important diet.

I cropped the picture and sharpend a little bit.

greetings!

Hello Kirsten!
Wonderful capture.Clear details,sharpness,POV,framing and composition are excellent.TFS...:-)

Hello Kirsten! This has very good details, DOF and sharpness. Good use of flash to bring out the details..That's alota green! ;-) Well done!

Good to see you're back, Kirsten. Despite the use of a flash (quite well done), it's a nice shot showing lot's of details due to the large DOF here. Light is almost evenly distributed, good point. Very good colors too, with a rich green palette.
