Horse Lubber Grasshopper

When I got home from work my husband pointed this one out to me. He was in my Desert Bird of Paradise Bush.
I kept moving in closer and closer while he climbed until I got this close. This is not cropped.

You have some real beauties down there. And you got so close. Sometimes they seem almost hynotized by a slow approach. A really nice shot.
