Meadow with abundant flowers and weeds.
I don't even remember taking this photo. WOW! Only one photo unfortunately. I wish I could have gotten a good macro. But uploading anyway because I never saw one like this before.
Honestly, Carol, this pic is pretty nice for not being a macro. I wouldn't worry too much about it. :)
Thanks so much Forest Dragon. Unfortunately, I only had one photo and not a macro. But close enough. I hope I find more this spring and summer.
These guys come in an amazing variety of color patterns.

Unfortunately, he isn't one of the hoppers that can be added to the Hoppers mission so you will have to move him out of it.
