Just a sec, I gotta finish off this leaf.

Ugh! My garden is infested. Any suggestions welcome. Photographic or pesticidal :)

He looks like quite an acrobat. Maybe a cat or a frog in your garden would help. lol He sure is cute though. I like his poised position on the bent over leaf remains.

Well he does make for a good closeup. I would try some 7 dust to get rid of him though.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

David, I have always found that the best way to eliminate grasshoppers is to eliminate their food source. Back in the old days before they were banned, I used DDT and then Agent Orange, a fabulous defoliant. Since those days I've graduated to a simple flame thrower. Another alternative is to plant a better garden in your neighbor's yard, capture a few of the grasshoppers and toss them over the fence. Grasshoppers being social creatures like termites, bees and ants, word will soon spread of the preferred buffet at your neighbor's.

Sorry but I have no photographic suggestions. Your postings as always are nearly flawless.

Another thought. Seems to me that I read a story about sea gulls miraculously showing up at the scene of a plague of grasshoppers, eating the grasshoppers and then heading back to the sea. So you might look into that religion and convert.

A flock of chickens would have a blast devouring these for you!
I really enjoy the way the grasshopper is situated - good angle.

A nicely composed scene and good framing with the leaf stalk. A nice depth of field in the shot. A little more sharpness to bring out the details in the grasshopper wouldn't hurt, though the softness works for this photo.
Open a bait shop; with a catch you own bait option. That should take care of the problem.
