This grasshopper was hanging out on the side of my house about 5 feet off the ground.  He is about an inch and a half long and I snapped these pictures using a Canon EOS 10D digital camera using a SIGMA 70-300mm telephoto lens in macro mode.  I think the photos came out wonderful considering I was about 2 feet away from this guy when I took the pictures.

The above photo shows a top view of the grasshopper.  He is about at eye level with me when I took the picture.

Here is a closeup of the grasshopper with his back legs in focus.

Here is another closeup of the grasshopper with the focus more on his head.
