Description

I captured this handsome fellow, all neatly dressed up in black and red, at the Botanical Gardens on Saturday. He was huge - if I add in the feelers, probably a good 5 inches. He also posed very politely for me to capture him from all sides... This is real color as it came from my camera. I only cropped and framed the image... Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments and favs on my upload last night. Take care. Hugs, Carin xx

Super shot with great colors. He looks like he is made of plastic. Sure it doesn't say, "Made in China" somewhere? :-) Bill

LMAO @ Bill... I assure you Bill - no "Made in China" markings on this one. Decie - I'm really sorry but I have no idea exactly what it is called. Def some form of grasshopper!!

He really looks great, but I'm afraid he doesn't do any good to the vegetation! Excellent shot, awesome macro!
