Hello everyone good evening wherever you are, how are you tonight? Hope you are fine wherever you are.
I"m back here again and on this occasion I want to show you some beautiful shots of a beautiful grasshopper on a green leaf. In Latin, this grasshopper is known as Valanga nigricornis. In my area this grasshopper is called Javanese grasshopper, there are also those who call it Javanese bird grasshopper.
Judging from the way it jumps or moves, this grasshopper is similar to the way birds move. Its movements are very fast and it can also jump quite a distance. It is thought that the Javanese grasshopper bird got its nickname from these two things, because these two things give the impression of a bird flying or wanting to move. This behavior is slightly different from other grasshoppers in general. An interesting behavior.
In terms of habitat, this grasshopper is the same as other grasshoppers in general. They like green environments such as parks, gardens, fields, forests and so on. They like comfortable places or places where they can easily hide if there are predators. They spend more time in places whose color is similar to their body color, to protect themselves from predator attacks.
