Today, I had so much work to do in the rice fields. After hoeing several areas of the fields, I started watering the yellow bean seedlings. Fortunately, the weather was not too hot today, so I did not get too exhausted.

While I was taking a break, I suddenly came across a very unique grasshopper. This grasshopper has a very different appearance from most other grasshoppers. Its head has a distinctive long, cone-shaped or triangular shape, and its bright green color looks very similar to the color of the surrounding leaves. This color allows it to camouflage itself easily among the nearby foliage.When this grasshopper landed on a leaf, I immediately tried to photograph it. Fortunately, it did not jump away, so I was able to photograph it easily. However, unfortunately, I only managed to capture the grasshopper from its left side.

This grasshopper also has two large hind legs that it often uses for jumping, and I saw for myself that this grasshopper can jump very long distances.
Alright everyone, now I will share some pictures of this long-headed grasshopper here.
