There were a lot of grasshoppers at my dad’s storage unit that we were cleaning out, and this little guy must have hitched a ride. I didn’t notice him until I got home, but he was on the hood of my truck and so I ran inside to get my macro lens and snapped off 20 frames before he “hopped” away.

When I looked at this picture and saw this guy’s smile, I immediately thought of the song “Smile” by Slim Thug; which was in turn the reason for posting this picture.
