montauk daisies in winter

I hope we have a mild winter this year. I am so not liking the freezing temperatures we've been having. I keep thinking about the beach and the sun and not wanting to wear a winter coat. oh well, it's only three more months...

I was leaning over a neighbors fence this past autumn examining these daisies when the homeowner came along and asked me what I was doing. I don't think she noticed my camera at first because as I started to answer her, she apologized for interrupting me. she was very sweet.

can you see the insect hiding in the daisy's petals? it's easier to spot if you enlarge the photo by clicking on it. 
I think it might be a baby grasshopper.
