As the wind was quite gusty this grass hopper had interlocked his front feet to hold his footing on the heath spotted orchid...
Canon 30D, Tamron 90mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro @ f/9, 1/30, ISO 320, Berlebach wooden mini tripod, remote release, mirror lockup, slight crop for compositional reasons (didn't anticipate the position correctly as the wind finally let off for a second)
Shot at the Sistig-Krekeler Heide nature reserve (which is open to the public on marked footpaths), Eifel area, NRW, Germany.
