This was taken last summer. This Oecanthus latipennis was crawling around on this aster and I was trying to get some decent shots. In order to get a good angle and light this was a controlled situation set up inside. The tree cricket flew away into the woods after we were done.
EOS 1Ds, 180mm macro, f/29, 1/200sec, ISO 200, two flash units with diffusers.

Wow. This is a terrific shot. Wil, you certainly have an outstanding collection of katydids, crickets and other similiar species.

Great Shot Wil - I like the camo aspects of the composition.
