Marvellous shot, really. But somehow I have to think of salad and get hungry :)) Ohoh.

Thanks a lot you both!
IT WAS BIG! About 8 cm. But no very intelligent species. It was laying the eggs in our foot-mat.:-)

Ohh, FrauFeli! You have an unusual taste. But here is a interesting link for you:

I noticed the time stamps of each shot: from 4:18 to 4:25!
I didnt know it would take so long laying eggs

Hi, Kodaky. I shot pictures from 4:13 to 4:56!!!
And the grasshopper was still there when I finished photoshooting. I don't know how many eggs they're laying.

I hate insects, but this shot is amazing!

Thank you, Ivan! I think insects are amazing too. ;-)
