I !LUV your photos and your contests!
Today I ll share two images I took yesterday.
I was walking around an abandoned house, that has some plants which I enjoy seeing and taking photos of.
On a green leaf, a big locust was sitting.
I used to be afraid of them (still am when they are flying around me) - but now I like watching them and getting as close as possible.

And a close up :)

I hope I made you smile a little bit.
Are you afraid of locusts? (grass hoppers?)

What do you call these in your country? I call them ;ακριδα' (akrida) in Greece

Good Luck everyone!

Hey there, good to see you here again :) This is a lovely close up. I love grasshoppers, they like to pose for some cool shots. Here is one I took in Costa Rica years ago, that´s one of my favorite animals shot I have ever taken actually :)

The Czech word for this animal is "kobylka", which literally means a little mare (female horse).

Oh wow, this is an impressive kobylka :)
Never seen a similar one here in Greece.
!LUV !BEER
Thank you for your kind reply! A pleasure to (always see and sometimes) participate to your contests :)

Thank you :) I think this tropical species may only be native to certain places in Latin America...
