Yellow Grasshopper

This little guy waited around for me to take about 15 photos of him all the up to a few cm from his face. He was getting a little gittery near the end though, so I let him go. What do ya think? I'm thinking of maybe entering one of the last two in the macro contest. I don't expect to win, I've never entered a photo contest before. But I think it would be fun to try.

Other than cropping and resizing there was no editing. It's a shame to resize them so small though. The detail in the full size photos are incredible.
