I had some difficulty spotting this beautiful grasshopper, about three inches tall, as it was on the other side of the plant. Then, I moved around to get a better point of view, but the little rascal instantly made an opposite movement in order to stay hidden! We repeated these dance steps four or five times... I never got the profile view that I was looking for, but I find this one more amusing finally :-)

No insect was harmed during this shooting session. :-) Mr Ant actually wanted to reach the top, and found Mrs Ladybug on his way... He won! :-)

A.k.a. Halloween cat
The Cheshire cat is famous as a character appearing (and disappearing) in Lewis Caroll's novel "Alice's adventures in wonderland". But apparently the expression "Grinning like a Cheshire Cat" was in use beforehand...
