The teeny, weeny grasshopper claimed the coreopsis flower for his own after the painted lady butterfly moved on to its next nectar source. In the earlier photo on the bottom, it almost looks like the grasshopper is ducking while the butterfly feeds.

Beautiful photos!
Thanks! Nature just loves the camera. 🙂
Welcome! Yes!
A grasshopper? Never seen one this small … thanks for posting.
Neither have I. Probably hatched not too long ago.
