While I was in a friend's oil palm plantation, I suddenly spotted a large grasshopper flying in front of me; it was a sizable specimen of the kind I often encounter near rice fields, though this time I found it right there in the plantation. Its dominant color was yellow, yet upon closer inspection, one could discern other hues on its body, such as green and black. Despite its large size, the grasshopper moved swiftly and was capable of leaping considerable distances. However, it was quite easy to approach—as it was not particularly skittish—making it simple to photograph. This type of grasshopper is also widely farmed, as it possesses a distinctive flavor and is quite delicious when cooked properly. At that moment, it had landed on a wild plant within the plantation; it did not fly away as I approached, continuing instead to display its beauty, which inspired me to capture the sight with my mobile phone camera.
