Acrometopa servillea (Brullé, 1832)
Order : Orthoptera
Family : Tettigoniidae (or Phaneropteridae?)

This is an interesting long-horned grasshopper. I did not find much info about it except that they are 3 subspecies: Acrometopa servillea italica (Ramme, 1927), Acrometopa servillea macropoda (Burmeister, 1838), and Acrometopa servillea servillea (Brullé, 1832).
I suppose it is not the A. servillea italica (distributed in Corse and Italy) but one of the 2 other subspecies.

Photo taken on Ikaria island.

Hello Catherine,

I'm so glad that I opened this shot as it cannot be appreciated from the thumbnail.
I have never seen anything like it before! It is so well camourflaged, it's a wonder you ever saw it!
What superb details of this amazing insect.
I love how you have composed it on a diagonal across the frame and made it stand out so well with the narrow dof.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Merhaba Catherine, kadraj, kompozisyon ve detaylarıyla çok harika olmuş.
Tebrikler.

Hola Catherine,
Una excelente composición de éste bello insecto con sus largas antenas sobre un Daucus en fruto. Los golores son geniales y la nitidez muy buena.
Salut. Ferran.

Precioso conjunto, con un equilibrio bien resuelto. Habilidad para poner en foco toda la escena.
Saludos.
