@MadScientist: This fellow illustrated to me how differently from us insects inhabit our world. His behavior was downright creepy.

This is a very special photo. This grasshopper looks like a creature from another world!

@Loner: His behavior was like that of a creature from another world --a little creepy. Although by another world I just mean insect world instead of human world.

@grant: The world would be a far more horrible and scary place if some of the insect world grew to be a foot or two instead of an inch or two.

@Magda: Thank you. Your shots of children are excellent. If you're not taking portraits of children professionally you should consider doing it --and you should charge a high fee. You've already posted enough professional quality portraiture to use for as an ample portfolio for promotional purposes.
