With those huge back legs, it looks as if it can jump. Nice shot.

Beautiful photo! A graceful looking bug perched on your lovely milkweed plant. Nice summer shot.

Thanks! This particular one is a nymph. You can tell from the body shape (lack of wings) and the "striped" antennae. As it grows older, the shape will grow wings, and the antennae will become a single color.
