[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A distance, cet insecte peut être pris pour une fleur ; sans doute une stratégie pour échapper à d’éventuels prédateurs.

Les nymphes se massent autour d’un tronc ou d’une branche et se déplacent par mouvements saccadés.

Remotely, this insect can be taken for a flower; undoubtedly a strategy to escape the possible predatory ones.
The nymphs mass around a trunk or of a branch and move by jerked movements.

Bonjour Christian,
thank you for posting a picture of these exotic insects from Madagascar. I like to see 'new faces' every now and then.
The characters of the species are well shown. There is no over-exposure of the white surface. Focus is also precise but in
my opinion, depth of field is rather narrow.
Best wishes, Peter

One of the best camouflage strategies I've seen in the world of bugs Christian, perfectly captured with fine focus and exposure in an eye pleasing vertical composition. TFS this fine scene my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet
