    How did you keep them from hopping all over the room? Those guys are quick! Great photo :)

    • Ha! my son gathered a handful and let them go all at once over my white paper. I had just enough time for three clicks of the shutter. The other two were photos were just blurred streaks of them hopping out of the frame. There was some luck involved.
