Good afternoon, everyone. How are you? This afternoon, I'm back with you, of course, with my very rare discovery. I hope I can entertain you all this afternoon.
While walking in my backyard earlier, I found a very unique animal that I rarely see. At first glance, it looks like a grasshopper, but its color is very different. It has a hard, shell-like skin. It also has two six-legged antennae, making it worthy of being called an insect. Its wings are neatly folded on its back. Although its eyes are small, we can still see them clearly.
Furthermore, its color is very unique, a combination of dark brown with touches of orange on its wings and white spots on its belly. I find it very beautiful. All these unique features made me interested in observing this insect.
I tried to get very close to it to take some pictures, but it didn't run away and barely responded to my presence. Perhaps it knew I wasn't a threat to it. Here are some of the pictures I managed to take from close range.
Sorry if my camera isn't clear or focused. I hope you like it. I don't kill or torture animals, I just take a few pictures of it for observation, after which I let it live in the wild.
