[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this is the same grasshopper i was following last sunday through the grass.i was lying in the grass contemplating the birds around in the trees and suddenly i heard a grasshopper not far away.so i turned my view from the sky to the grass and began to search for that small little thing.it s not that easy to find a green grasshopper in a green grass ;-).

this time here on this picture he was making his toilet.tomorrow i will post a picture where he is making his grasshopper sound and where you can see what body part he is using to do that sound.

Bonjour Caroline, décidément, encore une bien jolie photo de cette sauterelle, la composition est adorable, et le joli flou en arrière plan apporte du charme à cette photo,

Hello Caroline...
It is photographed in its habitat; the grass.
A bit risky...
I like it though...
