[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Criquet égyptien in French
Egyptian Grasshopper in English

A very big species (until 10 cm) that go through winter with an adult form. It's the reason why it can be observed very early in the spring.

Hope you like it.

Salut Emmanuel

Another splendid shot from you!
I must tell you that every time i see your name under a photo in the gallery i get excited because i know that when i open that thumbnail, i'm going to see a magnificent macro...and it always happens!
A splendid work here again! Fantastic details and textures (especially on the eyes), a great POV and a lovely blurred BG behind your subject to make it stand out so well.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Emmanuel,

This is just about the best macro of a grasshopper that I have ever seen. Amazing colors and details as he climbs this tree. Just beautiful.
