 I felt myself lucky by hosting Mr. Marsh on the held on helmet in night. I bounced flash from wall for this shoot. The shining helmet worked as a good reflector adding fill light from below.

It's length between 22 and 36mm. An absolutely stunning grasshopper with an olive green body and brownish forewings that have a yellow stripe along the lower edge. The hind femora are distinctly red below and the tibia are covered in a series of black and yellow bands. Females are noticeably larger than males. Ground colour can vary with olive brown forms common and purple colour forms of the female occasional.

Thanks for your nice comments. He was really comfortable & left the place after about 1-2 hours.

Terrific macro. He's so elegant looking. And I hear him talking with a Ricardo Montalban accent... Just wish his bottom hadn't been cropped out.
