Description : This summer I went up the Pointe d’Almet 2232m in 3 hours. A little blown I sitted to contemplate the splendid landscape of Aravis and while looking around me I discovered these two grasshoppers matting without problem in front of me, they were too busy to escape ;-)

Bonjour Christian
Magnifique photo des ces Miramelles (quel beau nom!)du genre Odontopodisma, famille des cantatopidae. Il y a de nombreuses espèces très proches de ces criquets aptères et pédestres - je ne me hasarderai pas plus loin.

Outstanding picture. This is Odontopodisma sp. a wingless grasshopper.
Many species, each with a rather restricted distribution, you'll need a specialist to get to the species level.

Hi Christian,
a lovely motive, wonderful colours and excellent DOF. You captured a great moment, very well done, thanks

Hi Christian!
I don't have enough time to write a decent comment ;) but the big smiley is, no doubt, well deserved here :)

// It's superb shot of very interesting subject. POV and details are perfect//

Salut Christian,
Il s'en passe des choses dans les Alpes en juillet! La lumière est un peu trop vive à mon avis, mais le sujet est très bien photographié et tous les détails sont là. Là aussi, il fallait les voir et les approcher sans les effrayer. C'est parfait!

Very good shot Christian, great details and effective DOF. I would have used a warming filter just to make the shot less green. 6/10 Very well done.

Very nice colours, good details and POV.

Great macro shot Christian, great sharpness, details and clarity, nice DOF too! Thanks for sharing

Wow. Great shot. It's so sharp, and the DOF is great. It is so difficult to control DOF on macros.

Hello Christian!
Wonderful close up.Colors,sharpness,POV,eyes of grasshoppers are perfect.Thanks for posing.

Focus is perfect on this, Christian. Your macro work just keeps getting better. The female appears to be a bit larger than the male.
