Very tiny grasshopper. Black & white stripes, even across eyes help it blend in with this dandelion.
Hiding in plain sight! I was trying out my new macro lens attachment on my iPhone and took a close up of this dandelion. After I looked at the photo, I saw the camouflaged hitchhiker and took more photos.

Thanks! This is the macro lens I made:

The instructions couldn't have been easier. It took a week for shapeways to make the plastic part and ship it... the lens showed up 3 days after ordering. Because it's well made ground glass, it does a pretty good job on getting the iphone closer to the subject.
Cool pictures and story!
