These little fellas usually make an appearance during the Spring, but I spotted this guy attempting a bit of pole vaulting on a grass stalk

Inspired by the Olympics I suspect. 
Lovely shots Carol, the way everything fits together on insects is so efficient,
Andy
Awesome detail and clarity in these Carol, particularly in v1
Excellent captures Carol, great detail in both,
Fred.
Two first rate macro-photographs, in which you have captured the superb detail and natural colours in this above life size and rather handsome creature. Version Number 1 certainly enhances all the key elements which are needed to produce an image of this quality.
Regards Nathan
These creatures take photographs of you, Carol, with their cameras [eyes]. Look at V2. - Raja.
They look good enough to eat, Carol. Lovely crystaline, sugar-coated exture. Two crackers.

I am glad I am not an insect ... that stem dancing looks like hard work
Love the pole-vaulting idea. I now have this vision of the pole bending under his weight, followed by boing...
Moira
Perhaps he might make it into the next Olympics! 
Two real cracking close-ups here, Carol, love 'em both
Trev
When I saw the title I thought I was going to see a Roman Emperor! excellent detailed captures again Carol.

Trev.
