Personally, I would have been scared to take that shot seeing the posture the grasshopper took when you wanted to do it.
Did you know in my place it is believed that a praying mantis can cause blindness if it spits into your eyes? I don't know if it's a myth but I believed it my entire life. This is why if I held the camera I would have been afraid to take the shot.
I am glad you were bold enough to do it and it turned out beautifully. The rest of the shots you took are lovely too. The rain did bring a lot of positivity in terms of increased activities for pollination.
Well done.
