Yes he is chilled and yes I did pose him in my table top studio. As for the fruit, I dunno. It was something growing by the side of the road. The deer didn't eat it so I suspect it is possibly poison or at the very least most noxious.

This is the fourth 'hopper. The first was yellow and rather elegant if a bug can be elegant. The second was decidedly military in his dessert camo. Then came the emerald one with brown accents. Now this one with brown on brown and yellow under pinnings.

Like I said, it's Texas and it's summer. Lots'a bugs. Listening to the Cicada now as the sun sets.
