    Some form of a leaf bug (Macro)

    it was in my room, at night, and was with pooooor lighting @ ISO100, i used my dads old nikon flash with no TTL.

    giving the tubes a run, all 3 again. very sharp detail, full size is a great looking photo.

    That may be a locust, because I have never seen a grasshopper that ugly.

    my wild guess would be a katydid, something tells me i better cross-reference against google before i hit "submit reply." Great picture though, nice job with the lighting choices available.

    yep yep, its a katydid. googled it, and it looks identical. it was a male.

    yea i was suprised at the grain from ISO 100, it was very dark in my room.

    Sure he did.... all my flashes work in manual mode on any of my cameras. The reason it was grainy was from the nikon flash

    no really, the grain was from under exposure.
