If we look at this insect from its appearance, maybe we won't think that this is a grasshopper, and it does look very different. To answer that curiosity, I also tried to find out information from this insect on Google, and it turns out that it is true that this is a green grasshopper, or more often called the long-headed grasshopper. This grasshopper has an elongated body shape, and also followed by the shape of its head, just like most grasshoppers in general, it also has two antennae on its head. Its size is not too big but has a very elegant color, namely green, with this color this grasshopper can hide and camouflage easily among the leaves, it also has two large legs behind which are often used for jumping, and also has wings that are shorter than its body size.

The good news is that this grasshopper's population is still relatively stable in my area, and we can easily find it almost anywhere. It's also not too wild, so it's quite easy to approach.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this long-headed grasshopper here.
