Garden Beast IV

This little fella made getting a shot nearly impossible as he preferred to jump on my face rather than sit still. After 3 hours shooting I hope you like the image

Garden Beast IV belongs to the following groups:

Animal Kingdom, Butterflies, Skippers, Moths, & Other Winged Insects, Gaia - The Living Planet, Green!, Insects, Bugs and Creepy Crawlies and Macro Untouched

Ken!! This is lovely, what a cute grasshopper? Love the face! It’s so funny he kept jumping on you, I love grasshopper feet, they ‘stick’ like crazy… Wonderful work Ken, would you be opposed to me ‘borrowing’ one of your bugs for a collaborative ‘space theme’ picture in the future possibly?

Mary Campbell, 5 months ago

Oh wow, what a great macro shot. So crystal how do you get them to stand still?
JohnScott, 5 months ago

the little critter was a tourist in the jungle and asked Ken nicely to take the shot! eh mate?
Ken Boxsell in reply to Mary Campbell’s comment, 5 months ago

Thanks Mary. This little guy was very friendly. He reminded me of a cat, constantly cleaning himself. He would quite willingly walk on your hand. So I would continually place him back on the paper and take a few shots in between the times he was chewing his antenna or feet. Certainly a very strange bug.
Ken Boxsell in reply to JohnScott’s comment, 5 months ago

Funny you say that John thats exactly how it worked. Last night he was on the fly screen, I took him in and shot 193 shots, he then flew onto a plant high up on the fridge. Being so tired I left him there and went to bed. This morning he was on the window, I placed my hand next to him and he climbed on. I took him outside and he was last seen on the mandarin tree.

Ginny Schmidt, 5 months ago

I’d say you must have tired him out, but the look he’s giving you seems like he is assessing his next likely landing spot on your face. Fabulous work.

Ken, you have really created quite a stir with these outstanding macro portraits and you deserve all the credit – another beauty although it would have totally freaked me out if this little fellow jumped anywhere near me!
