He's eating my flower!

Found this little green grasshopper eating one of my cone flowers!
Wish I had a reflector with me to light up his wee face a bit more but by the time I ran back and grabbed it he had amskrayed.
C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Thanks Snowy I think it was worth climbing into the garden in my slippers and jammies to get this angle

Very nice. I like her eyes.
How do you use a reflector? without flash? Just wondering because last time you posted some squirrel shots taken with a reflector and they were great.

Thanks Rick
Pffft, not ignorant it is a good question!
So no flash, I would be using the reflector to bounce some natural light back onto her face.
The light is coming from almost directly behind her so her face is shadowed. I would have put the reflector on my left in front of me in direct line with the sunlight to bounce it back up into her face. Hope that made sense!
