New Photograph by Michael W. Moses, Hybiscus Hunger.

Here is an image that I took the other day.  I had taken a hybiscus flower that I had cut in my yard into the shop to put in one of my art pottery vases. I discovered this cute little insect setting on one of the stamen. It was a little baby grasshopper. It was just so tiny and cute that I had to snap a few images of it and here is one of them. Unfortunately these little things grow into very big things and they can strip a plant of leaves in no time flat.  So I had to thank him for posing and then take him away. I will have to spry the yard in the next day or so, because I am seeing them everywhere. They are just so cute, but they are very bad for the garden.
