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

Hi everyone, how are you, I hope you have a nice day. A few days ago I found several species of small animals to show this time, and among those I found was the leafhoppers species or better known by another name, namely Aphrodes, at this time I was walking and a few minutes later I found this leafhoppers species crawling on one of the stems of wild plants, and at that time I immediately approached it very carefully.

And as usual I immediately took my smartphone camera and macro lens in the small bag that I brought when I went to this small forest, and without waiting long I immediately took several different shots and looked very beautiful and graceful because this species of leafhoppers has its own characteristics, and you can see it below.

This species of leafhoppers has a rather small body shape with a slightly brownish black color that looks very attractive, and the eyes also have a shape that looks very beautiful and at that time I took several different angles of the picture to see the interesting side of this species of leafhoppers.

Aphrodes is a genus of leafhoppers (family Cicadellidae). The species of this genus are found in Eurasia and North America.....Wikipedia

Then after that I went back around this small forest and suddenly I found a species of grasshopper or better known by another name Oxya, and its body shape was quite large with a green color that looked very bright and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the wild leaves, and as usual I immediately took several angles of pictures from its head to see its eyes because the eyes of this species of grasshopper look beautiful and attractive, and you can see them below.

Oxya is a genus of grasshoppers (Caelifera: Acrididae) found in Africa and Asia (where some species may be called "rice grasshoppers").....Wikipedia

Then I found another species of praying mantis or better known by another name, namely Hierodula patellifera, and at that time I saw this species of praying mantis crawling on one of the small wild fruits that grow abundantly on wild plants in this small forest. And at that time I immediately took several angles of pictures of this praying mantis species, but unfortunately I couldn't take pictures from other angles because this praying mantis went in another direction and disappeared.

Hierodula patellifera, commonly known as giant Asian mantis, Asian mantis, Indochina mantis and Harabiro Mantis, is a species of praying mantis in the family Mantidae.....Wikipedia

Greetings, friend, the photograph of the Praying Mantis is amazing. I only saw one specimen once, but I couldn’t photograph it. Thank you for sharing the pictures; they are very beautiful.
