What a handsome hopper! He looks like he’s wearing armor.
Handsome he is. Interesting that his kind have inspired military equipment designers to come up with exoskeleton gear to protect our troops. :up:
That is a cat snack. Yuck. It also has 6 legs. The publicist does not like things with more than 4 legs unless it is a praying mantis. She likes them – and it has nothing to do with the female eating the male’s head.
Yes, it is a dandy kitty snack. :food: I’ll give him a pass, however. But look again . . . This guy only has 5 legs. I’m sure that’s the only reason that I was able to capture that image.
I’ll take your word on the praying mantis. But only because you say so. :angel:
Hi Chuck I doubt you will remember me but I use to publish under the name Shinade and my blog was The Painted Veil. I am back after a year or so with a new blog Expression Needed. I am making the rounds from my Google Reader to grab my old favorite blogs and who could forget Secondary Roads? Not me.
I love your capture and I didn’t realize he was missing a leg until I read comments. One leg or two it’s still wonderful to see him so close up!!
Happy day,
Jackie 🙂
Of course I remember you Jackie. Thanks so much for looking me up. FWIW, I just nipped over to visit your new blog. Very nice, but sorry to read about your family’s loss.
Everyone always has visitors, either expected or unexpected.
This visitor, expected or unexpected, is always welcome at my door. 😀
He’s on his last leg…literally. No really, look—he only has one back leg!
Aha! :up: You got it Lin.
I’m sure that’s the only reason I was able to capture that close-up of this guy. Otherwise, he would have hopped away. :beam:
Give yourself a pat on the back for me, if you would please. :m4:
What an amazing capture! Very cool.
Thanks. Why do you suppose he let me get close enough for that shot? :think:
Oh my lord that would scare the crap out of me.
Why Julie? He’s not going to bite you. If he does spit, it will wash right off. :m2:
May I assume 1) it is an earlier in the year picture, or 2) poor thing is frozen solid? 😯
It was taken this week. He was not [yet] frozen solid. He didn’t move much. Do you know why? :think:
Those are awesome shots…love his(?) colorful belly! 😀 😀
That green and black is very nice. 😀 I was surprised that I was able to get that shot. When I studied the image, I found a reason. :zip:
