 I love taking a picture of something I've never seen before and then going home to research it.

This is really neat. I agree, I always get very excited when I see something I've never seen before :)

Wild colors. I had no idea grasshoppers came in anything other than green/brown...

he is a cool critter, i have not seen one of these guys before.
i think it is a good shot and the background is blurred even at 6.3 but I would like to see it even at maybe a 4.0 or something (not sure which lens was taken with)
My folks are in that area I will have to check out that preserve next time I am there.
Well done!
