While out at Oilwell Grade the other day I found a cluster of Eastern Lubbers in the nymph stage of their life. At this phase of their life, they are very small and predominantly black with a yellow or orange stripe.
Once mature though they are one of the larger and more colorful of our grasshoppers.
Excellent macro shots! What’s the equipment for this?
The nymphs were taken with a Nikon D300 with 105mm f2.8 VR Micro-Nikkor and the Adults with a Nikon D50 and 70-200mm f2.8 VR with TC17E-II.
