Suborder Caelifera

in Nature Observer6 days ago (edited)

One of the species in the Orthoptera order is the grasshopper. This herbivorous insect species, if in large numbers, is considered a nuisance pest by vegetable farmers. The type of grasshopper that I found below is a type of green grasshopper or Suborder Caelifera.

Despite the perception that grasshoppers are pests of vegetable crops, I see beauty in the type of green grasshopper that I found. The bright green color of the grasshopper's entire body with large eyes and a pair of antennae adds to the beauty of this type of grasshopper. Unfortunately, this grasshopper looks like it's still small. So the beauty of the entire body of the grasshopper cannot be seen. Below are some photos of the green auction that I took using my cellphone camera.
