Well captured!,..its amazing how fast they can move,..quicker than the click of a camera,..you did well.

 

Oh cool, I've never seen a striped one, must be related to the zebra.

 

Obviously has not shed his prison uniform. Nice picture.

he was actually a very good student and sat very still while i took a few snaps. don't get much wildlife in my garden, just bugs and cats :-D

 

Lucky you! we get all kinds. Skunks, raccoons, deer, chipmunks,opossums wandering through. They all can make quite a bit of destruction in their wake. They all LOVE sweet corn and it is just now getting ready.

 

Looks more like a locust to me. We buy these to feed to our lizard so are used to them hoping around his tank. Glad to say I only see the little green grasshoppers on my allotment.
