Grasshoppers are a pretty common insect.

There are times of the year when Grasshoppers feel ubiquitous as they spring and jump from the ground with every step you take.

Often times photographing a Grasshopper requires getting lower to the ground because that is where the Grasshoppers are.

But on this occasion the Grasshopper was atop the fence around our flower garden.

It was cool that the Grasshopper stayed put while I was able to get in nice and close with my macro lens.
