A very unique grasshopper I managed to find perched on dead coconut leaves. A few days ago, right behind my house, I managed to find a very beautiful insect and this insect is a leaf grasshopper. I often see several types of grasshoppers, there are green grasshoppers, yellow grasshoppers, brown grasshoppers, even small grasshoppers and large grasshoppers, but are these grasshoppers the same type or different, what is certain is that their shape is very similar and what distinguishes them is the color and pattern on their bodies. Like the grasshopper that I will share here, which is a grasshopper that is blackish yellow and has a body size that is not too big and not too small.
And the uniqueness of grasshoppers is that they have two legs that they often use to jump far, they can even fly like other flying insects. So I managed to photograph this grasshopper by approaching this grasshopper slowly and until my cellphone camera was very close to the grasshopper, then I photographed it perfectly. And I managed to photograph this grasshopper in a large number of images and here are some of them
