Close-up of a red-legged locust, perched on the blossom of an aster.
The mostly dull, camouflage-oriented color of this animal is sharply accentuated by the striking red legs it is named for. I found that it contrasted quite nicely with the dark purple of the aster petals. :)

- I so very, very much appreciate all your comments, critiques, and kind words! I may not always have time to thank each of you personally, but I would like you to know; it means a lot. Again, muchas gracias. :)

That is an excellent macro. It is so hard to get a picture of these guys without them hopping away first. Great clarity, great colors and contrast. Very nicely done!

P.S. if you get a chance, take a look at my gallery. Any comments, criticisms, advice, etc. on any specific pics would be most welcome.
