Excellent series - not sure I would call the damselflies embracing- always looks to me more like throttling :)
#3 is an Ichneumon wasp

Good shots. Looks like the grasshopper is drunk and ready to fall over.

Lovely set of shots.

I particularly like the damsel and grasshopper shots :D

Only a sadist would let a horsefly bite them AND photograph it LOL LOL - hope you are ok after the bite :D

Fantastic set. I love the hopper particularly, he looks like he's trying to say "what the heck are you doing?!" :)
Although the pitures are nice I hate those flies, unfortunatley it's not mutual.

Can a grasshopper be precious? #2 is a precious pose. Nicely captured. --Rick

Wonderful series. I love them all. I would burn in or clone out the finger on the edge of the frame in the last image. It detracts from an otherwise great image.
