Baby Speckled bush cricket - Leptophyes punctatissima

Gorgeous day today, I was watering the flowers and found this little guy chomping on the petals, he is only approx 8mm long, even with my macro lens he was still quite small,so I used my 3 macro Extension rings of 13mm+21mm+31mm and managed to get him a bit bigger.
I was quite amazed it even picked up his eye detail too,I actually find him quite cute!
Best in original!

other sizes: small medium large original auto

When you see all this detail, you start to wonder what their life feels like...

He is gorgeous, Carole! I bet the adults are sharp looking also. I will have to look them up.
