Honestly, I don't know what this insect is. At first glance, it looks very similar to a grasshopper and a cricket. This insect has two large legs behind it that are often used for jumping. So, for all of you who know what this insect is, please tell me.A few days ago, when I was in my cocoa plantation, I managed to find this insect on a wild plant,it kept jumping from plant to plant,its movements were very fast, which made me think it was a grasshopper. However, when I tried to photograph it using a macro lens, I was confused because its shape also looked a bit like a cricket. I like its color, which is green, which is very similar to the color of the surrounding leaves,this makes this insect easily camouflaged among the surrounding leaves,and photographing this insect is also not easy.

The good news is that I managed to capture this insect well, using a macro lens,the results were beautiful and detailed.
