This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Good evening everyone, how are you all my friends and I hope you are all having a pleasant day and in good condition. On this sunny day, as usual, I always take the time to hunt for small animal species in the small forest, and before I left, I didn't forget to bring my smartphone camera and macro lens in the small bag that I carry wherever I go, and hopefully on this sunny day I will find some small animal species again.

And when I arrived there I walked and circled this small forest and suddenly I saw some wild taro growing in this small forest, and suddenly I found a species of cricket or better known by another name, namely Tettigonia viridissima. And at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild taro leaves and at that time I immediately approached it, and at that time I immediately took several different angles of pictures and it looked very beautiful because this species of bush cricket has its own characteristics, and you can see it below.

Tettigonia viridissima, the great green bush-cricket, is a large species of bush-cricket belonging to the subfamily Tettigoniinae......Wikipedia

Then after I photographed this species of bush cricket and at that time I continued to explore this small forest again, and a moment later I saw in the bushes of wild plants found a species of spider known by another name, namely Oxyopes salticus, and its small shape with a slightly greenish yellow color that looked so eye-catching and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaves, and without waiting long I immediately took several shots of the picture that looked so beautiful and unique, and you can see below some portraits of this species of spider.

Oxyopes salticus is a species of spider belonging to the family Oxyopidae. This species is also part of the genus Oxyopes and the order Araneae.....Wikipedia

Excellent macro photographs @ridor5301. In Cuba, the green cricket is known by the name Esperanza, and there is a popular belief that associates these green grasshoppers with good luck. Greetings and have a nice day ☺️
