This grasshopper nymph was one of the tiniest I've ever seen - smaller than a grain of rice.

Thanks! I always like grasshopper nymphs, but this one stood out because of it's incredible tiny size and good camouflage.
great photo!
Wow! That's neat you were able to do that with just f/8.0!
Thanks for the interesting question. I shot several photos of this tiny nymph but only this one turned out well. It was shot at a relatively high ISO (400), with a fast exposure (1/1000th), at a medium f-stop (8.0). It helped that I could rest the lens hood directly on the ground. :)
How'd you get so much depth of field with this macro?
