Of the many types of grasshoppers that I have found, this is one type of grasshopper that is very beautiful in my opinion, starting from its shape to its color. This grasshopper has a relatively smaller size so that its beauty is often overlooked, so to be able to see its beauty, we have to see it from a fairly close distance. This grasshopper has a very beautiful color, namely yellowish orange, and there are black spots all over its body, I tried to photograph this grasshopper using the help of a macro lens, so that every detail of this grasshopper can be seen clearly. At that time I managed to find it on a wildflower and this grasshopper did not fly when I photographed it.

But what's even more interesting is that this grasshopper has two very beautiful antennae. They're not very long, but they're very pretty, reddish-brown with white spots. This grasshopper can easily be found in rice fields, especially during the rice planting season.
Okay everyone, now I'm going to share some pictures of this grasshopper here.

These antennae are the real standout, who knew grasshoppers could be this fancy?
