Amazing..never seen anything like Ram, they look like painted Porcelain! A fine composition with excellent detail...the shaded part on the one at the bottom creates a nice effect too.

Fine capture, Ram!
I like the composition and POV as these two colourful grasshopper nymphs line up to have their picture taken. They look good on the Crown Flower Milkweed especiall as the dark BG sets them off so well in an image with high technical quality.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Best wishes, Ivan

Hello Sir,

These twosome Painted Grass Hoppers are wonderful.Poised in a row, looks like - about to take off. You've captured in their favorite milk weed. POV and composition are too good.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ram

You certainly have some colourful grasshoppers in India and we are lucky that you and your countrymen (and women) post here for all to see. As far as I know there are no Australian species that are this colourful.
Excellent sharpness
Excellent composition
Good DOF and POV
Good OOF background

Hello Ram,
This is wonderful, you've captured two of these marvellous insects on this lovely flower! I like your diagonal composition and the dark green background is perfect. Great details and bautiful light and colours.
I'm amazed at the wildlife you have in the big city of Delhi! I remember many green parks and avenues though which I hope still remain.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

It is an almost cartoon characteristic fine image..something out of modern day video games...almost unreal...lined up like that...just too much. I think it should have a catagory all of its own!

Hi Ram

What amazingly colourful creatures! It is hard to believe that these are relations of our small green species! Well captured with excellent detail and colour.

Hi Ram,

I thought the Painted Grasshopper was beautiful the first time you posted them. This is a double pleasure seeing two together like this in identical poses. They are so colorful and beautifully designed and you show them in perfect detail. I love the diagonal composition.

Hello Ram, I have not read all the comments or critiques but these beautiful Painted Grasshoppers (Poekilocerusictus)are immature and they are on their favourite host plant called Aak (Calotropis procera) in Urdu and Giant Milkweed or Sodom Apple in English. It is a fine medicinal shrub or tree of our region....thanks for sharing a superb photo....warmest regards/Abid
