A Grasshopper photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas 24 July 2024.  90mm Macro, 1/250 sec, f/5.0. iso 400, natural light, handheld.  Missing a back leg and an antenna.  Life as a bug must be tough.  Large view looks better.  Before looking at grasshoppers through a macro lens, I had no idea that they have hair.

Fine portrait of this hopper, the grassy setting (switchgrass?) and pose is great.

Ah, yes-I see those bristle around the grasshopper. I would not have known either! Great shot-looks like it is hanging on for dear life.
