Great photos. I hate grasshoppers but have to admit those are cute photos. :)
ReplyDeleteCher Sunray Gardens
lots of them! great shots =)
ReplyDeletegreat macros; loving nature's bounty
ReplyDeleteThe baby grasshoppers are cute. So are the wee plantlets!
ReplyDeleteThese are exquisite macro shots, very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe face looking over the edge of the plant is a great shot!
ReplyDeleteStewart M - Australia
Nobody sees the face on that face, maybe as a camouflage. The eyes become the hair and it even has thick eyebrows. Can you see it now?
DeleteWhat baby isn't adorable? That second shot made me chuckle. How is it that the grasshoppers are all lined up like that? They look like they have come off a manufacturing production line.
ReplyDeleteYes Jennifer, they are adorable and they occupy almost the length of an amaryllis leaf. Actually there's still a lot there. Their mother is teaching them the art of military training, and it is marching time, haha! However, i didn't see their mother. Imagine that was my first time to see grasshopper babies or grasshopperlets!
DeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! But they have a hungry look on their faces. Hope they aren't too hungry after all.
David/:0)
Hope you get to garden more and more EVERY weekend. :0)
haha, David you are the first person to put it that way. I've tried to see it the way you do, but i don't get that idea, maybe that gets into your head because of the big eyes. Or is it because they are all very young and needs to grow!
DeleteWhat gorgeous shots - those little grasshoppers are adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bottom shot as well, especially with the tiny little heart leaves. I would like to ask your permission to feature this pic on Guest Heart Thursday (with link back to your blog). clytie-randomhearts.blogspot.com
Yes Clytie that would be fine, and thank you for the invitation. I've also visited your site.
DeleteI love the macro's Andrea. Wonderful camera work with the lens'. Look at all of those little munchers. LOL! Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteGreat macro shots! Grashoppers are little beauties!
ReplyDeleteOh these are just adorable and really, really good, but all your critters are good shots.
ReplyDeletegreat pictures, not fond of bugs but you have managed to make them look cute
ReplyDeleteJanice
i can't believe these photos you have - you're such a wonder photographer. Those long legs on that first guy!! And how did you ever find that army of the little grasshopper things?!
ReplyDeleteWendy, you are so kind. I got a macro lens, and I don't want to go to the office anymore, just want to roam around and look for minute things, haha!
DeleteThese are wonderful, especially like your last two.
ReplyDeleteThey actually look cute the way you photographed them Andrea!
ReplyDeletehehe, that is the other side of being unwholesome, now i am thinking from the critters point of view!
DeleteAmazing! I love the one of them all lines up. Looks like an invading army.
ReplyDeleteHerding Cats
Wow, excellent macro shots showing details we'd never see otherwise. Cute photo of the young ones all lined up for some sort of exercise that mom is undoubtedly in charge of.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing... that 2nd image is brilliant, he looks like he is peeking out to see what all the fuss is about. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
Thanks Molly, look closer and you will see a face on its face. The eyes makes the hair, and it has a long beard. haha!
DeleteWho ever thought a grasshopper could look so cute!. Fortunately we are not overly bothered by them, not a whole lot of damage done here.
ReplyDeleteThese are some gorgeous creatures! Amazing photos as well.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute Andrea - great shots.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, thanks for stopping by my site and leaving a comment. Now I was able to check out your site. Awesome photos! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I love the little grasshoppers. What a neat set of photos. If you have time to stop by my site and say hi I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots!
ReplyDeletegreat shots.
ReplyDeletei was amazed when i saw this plant at my neighbor's garden...she gave me a pot.:p now i see roots under those tiny new growth on the leaves. what do you call this plant?
ReplyDeleteThat is also the same plant i put in my other site, the 'mother of thousands' or Kalanchoe daigremontiana. It is very invasive, it only looks nice at that stage. You should read my short paragraph about it@POG. It will be a problem in the future!
DeleteAdorable! Especially the one peeping over the leaf! Your photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful macros! I'm very impressed that you could make those little creepy crawlies beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, thanks Edenhills, I just took the shots and was amazed too of what they turned out.
DeleteMy favourite is picture no. 3 - it reminds me of a book, The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck and a legend about war in China, "The 3 Kingdoms".
ReplyDeleteI think I've read that PS Buck book, but i dont remember the story anymore! I love how other people see these shots as transforming these critters as cute, other than what they really are!
DeleteThese shots are really wonderful. You are an amazing phographer.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Andrea, for letting me feature your wonderful hearts on this week's Guest Heart Thursday!

I love your shots today!!! Very cool pics of the grasshoppers.....nicely done. I especially like the one peeking over the flower petal:) Extremely awesome shots. Hope you are well:)
ReplyDeleteLove your photos, the critters are cute.
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute little guys!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding photos! WOW! These are great baby critters. I'm blown away at the grasshoppers though.
