I don't know the name of this insect in other areas, but in my area this insect is often called the leaf cricket. This cricket has a very unique shape, which is oval and thin and has two large legs that are often used for jumping. Now look at the head, this cricket has a very long antenna that even exceeds the length of its body, but what is more interesting about this cricket is its very elegant color, this cricket has a black color on its back, and there is a green color on the legs and head, of course this is a very beautiful color combination. I myself managed to find this cricket in my chocolate garden, but it is very difficult to find it because this cricket has a color that is very similar to the surrounding leaves, and this cricket is also very good at hiding.

But what's even more remarkable is that I managed to photograph this cricket using a macro lens, allowing me to clearly see every detail of the cricket, from its shape to its color.
Okay everyone, here are some pictures of this leaf cricket.
