... "Mullein Plant Security" ... ?
Some notes at the bottom of the table (2nd graphic)

There was some image degradation from using optical zoom but a wider angle w/o zooming would have been way too close to the critter and not let the background fall nicely into place.

Love this shot, Dar, and I especially like the hopper's little grin as he spies on you!

CORRECTION: As much as I might have wished for optical zoom on my "flat camera," I meant to say that digital zoom had degraded the quality somewhat. (the effect is more noticeable at full pixel size -- I had submitted a smaller version here) Below is a corrected version of the information graphic. My little hopper buddy and I needed a proof reader yesterday!

Thanks. I thought that "grin" had a bit of Halloween in it -- kinda creepy. The first few times I got the camera up close the antennae moved around as if to figure out what I was up to, but then he settled down and posed while I got a few more clicks in.

I love the whimsy. A great lesson in working that camera angle too

Grasshoppers made great subjects. They always seem to be eager to pose for the camera.
