[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
this is one of the grasshopper,
Grasshoppers are herbivorous insects of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish them from bush crickets or katydids, they are sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts.
Grasshoppers as food

In many places around the world, grasshoppers are eaten as a good source of protein. Supposedly, some countries instruct military personnel to collect grasshoppers to eat as a food source.

In Korea rice field grasshoppers are eaten as a side dish at meals, as a lunch box ingredient, or as a drinking snack. Many Koreans consider grasshoppers to be a health food. The preparation of grasshoppers as food varies, but sometimes they are pan-fried, with or without oil, after removing the wings and legs. Various cultures also use them as medicines for treatment of convulsions in children, coughs, tetanus, and weakness, though there are no documented pharmaceutical properties.
this one is 8 to 9 cm long adn it can be good for small lunch.

Hi Marjan,
brrrrr - that's a big one!
I'm a little afraid of those big ones, but I don't know why. They are realy pretty, special the striped eye is so wonderful.
Your had good eyes to see this one hiding inside the bush. I like it, thanks

Hi Marjan,
He is blending in well with his surroundings, but you found a nice opening. Excellent colors, detail, and textures shown in this shot.
