I know how difficult it`s to "catch" on of this, and that he is suuposed to be matching the grass because of disquise... But the backrounf does match him to much....

Hmm, the lighting isn`t so much a problem, in my view. He looks excellent - detail and all. It`s just that I think this probably isn`t the optimal angle from which he could have been captured. But he was probably gone the next second, so what could you do? As is, there`re just so many extra objects and details in the image - they do add to his "invisibility" but also detract attention from him. So, I`d say this is almost, almost a success. Hope you run into him or one of his kind again soon )

Incredible! This grasshopper is looking at me! This is wonderful work to capture an insect like this with it`s great camouflage abilities!
