Ex-tra-or-di-na-ry!!!!!!!
Thank you Dr. Namgyal, Dan and Leanne! :)
OMG! At first I thought I was looking at the photo of some water bird (Ibis?). The right wing lead my eyes to the hoppers eye! Fantastic, Leana!
Nice shots of a tiny creature!
That's a cool looking hopper Leana. Almost looks like a bird with its wings on backward!
