Very nice shot Peter! Love that eye. 2nd crop and 1st processing for me too, the white spots in the 2nd are too bright, and he's gone a bit yellowish.

Now that's not a bad idea, but so far, the cats (8 of 'em, + 4 more kittens that turned up last night), and insecticides seem to be coping.

Your statement that is, not your image
Yours is perfectly acceptable and just as good if not better than some of those linked to by Gwyn.

This is a great documentary photograph of this little creature. I like the second offering of it the best. The patterning in it's eye and spotted casing is certainly a draw.

Totana,
Spain.
Whatever it is there is one which looks like it here.
She assumes it is a juvenile migratory locust.
I think her ID skills are about as good as mine though. The Migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) is more brown than green, but the Egyptian Grasshopper (Anacridium aegyptium) nymph is green, brown when adult. My image, whatever it is, would appear to be at the nymph/juvenile stage of its development and the eyes are definitely similar to the creature that I know as the Egyptian grasshopper.
In any event, whatever it is, it ain't eating any more of my orange tree leaves. The leaf burrowing varmints and grasshoppers/locusts have had all they are going to have.
