22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mediterranean katydid nymph

I was trying out a new wide-angle macro lens when I spotted two of these grasshopper-like creatures on a plant stem. When one walked onto the flower I was able to take some photos of it. It was only later that I was able to identify it as a nymph.
