Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  Â

Great shot! Wonderful clarity on the detailing. Grasshoppers/cockroaches ETC always look to me like they were designed by master craftsman from a much more advanced race than our own. There's something amazingly intricate and complex about all the different parts. Nicely captured!

All the above, Dana!

My favorite part of a grasshopper is the mouth. It's SO complicated! I also love the eyes, especially when the grasshopper in question is kind enough to let you get close enough for a decent macro. Chicago grasshoppers are a flighty bunch at times, despite my success at photographically capturing a number of them last year. This year I've had little luck. Oh well...at least you got this beauty, and of course the first thing I did was zoom and look at the mouth-parts (many of which are visible in the most fascinating of ways.) Grasshoppers have such cool knees too! This is a great shot and I'm glad to see it.
