i have a difficult time with insects because they’re so creepy
There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder.

A wonderful image! The only insects that I don’t like are spiders. They just seem to appear when you least expect them to!
We use no pesticides in our garden. Lots of good bugs to take care of the bad ones.
The fine grasshopper isn’t creepy at all. 😉 In large numbers, they can be destructive. I used to see these every day, in the summer, on the farm.
Awesome clarity captured in this grasshopper….particularly when the foliage gets in the way!!
Joli petit cricket.
good shot of the ‘hopper, but to my eye, it gets lost in the unfocused foreground.
but alas, the result of a macro shot using a good macro lens
That is not handy when gardening ; -0
I love insects, and would have been delighted to have caught this one on camera. Very nice!
Utiliser des purins d’orties, prêle etc…… que du naturel.
But esssential
Great capture with superb colors in your composition .
Quelle belle prise Sherri, superbe!!! Bise bon jeudi dans la joie!
J’adore comme toujours chez toi ! Tu a un univers bien à toi est c’est très beau !!! Une très belle citation !
I’m with Elaine on this one – just about anything but spiders. Well, and mosquitos. And chiggers. OK, I don’t much like creepy critters either.
Nice focus and matching background.
Looks like a grasshopper – a very inoffensive insect 🙂
Most insects are interesting and some are beautiful. There are about 40000 species of spider….but none of them are insects. They are Arachnids 😀
a very nice shot, Sherri. i think they are a problem when you see too many of them and start eating the young shoots and leaves.
I can see it, beautiful place to be. _)
I suppose it’s all a matter of perspective! I think we’re taught to be creeped out by insects and snakes and the like. I find them fascinating, amazing creatures – and I love this photo of a grasshopper!
Fantastique plante et jeu de fueille quel effet

i’ll tell you what my egregious blunder would be… stomping the wee bush out of existence while trying to kill that huge bug!!!
it looks prehistoric doesn’t it?
Wonderful macro!
Oh ! not creepy at all ! I love this insect even when it jumps on me 😉 Superb macro !
