 I have no idea how I happened to notice these mating grasshoppers beside the trail. They were quite well hidden and camouflaged. But when I saw them, I instantly thought of this challenge.

Ha! Gave me a flashback to a similar scenario I came across back in 2005. :-)



I like the lighting on yours much better though. And the eye color of the smaller grasshopper is stunning!
