Hey Nedim.After you've worked so hard to write such a good note,I almost hate to tell you that I think this is not a grasshopper but a strange kind of Praying Mantis.
It is very different from most mantis I have seen,but I'm pretty sure it is a Mantis nonetheless.You may be able to find out which type by typing Mantis into Google and searching 'Images'
Its a very good shot though.Slightly bright on the body,but well composed.Hope you find the species.
Steve.

I like it Nedim,
It's not an easy one to photograph with his camoufage colours, the dof is very nice, the pof can be done better I think, but even I like the good job,

This is a very good shot Nedim! You have composed it well, the perch has interesting texture and color and the image is sharp and clear..Perect exposure, Very well done!
P.S. I understand you have discovered a new specie of grasshopper/mantis?? ;-))

Hi, yes indeed it's a member of Mantodea order. Family Mantidae, genus Ameles. I'm not sure about the species, could be A. decolor or A. spalanziana :-) Hope it helps :-)

Hello, Nedim. Now, a macro. Great.

There seems to be some dust spots on the CCD of your camera, or, maybe, on the lens. I may be wrong, but I guess you should check it. Your picture has some spots that seem caused by dust.

As for the picture itself, I do enjoy it. An excellent composition, an excellent pov. Sharpness is great too. Great lighting and blurred background.

Congratulations.

Hi Nedim, I agree with the others here, you have found a Mantid. I have no idea which species - sorry. Nice composition and details - the brown tones are very nice. Well done.

Excellent photo Nedim! As other said this is some kind of flower mantis for sure. Nice light, warm colours and mood. Detailed and sharp, but first of all very interesting subject!

Hello Nedim,
This is a nice mantid species. I loved the warm tones all over the picture. The BG. is a bit crowded but a nice possibility to have an idea about it's habitat.
Well done.

Whatever it is, because I do not know, it is an excellent shot. He may not be the most colorful insect, but the detail and composition are right on the money!

Great shot Nedim. I like the lighting and your composition is very good - so is the sharpness. Very good note, even if it is the wrong ID :-), but not to worry - I have made the mistake myself before.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Fabulous capture of this strangely pale praying mantis. The dried berries it is sitting on are nice because they add a spot of color.

You've certainly captured him well, I can never find a grasshopper that sits still for even the second it takes to snap a photo. Well captured, I love the almost monochromatic photo, with the small blaze of color of the plant he's sitting on. Very clear, sharp, nicely lighted photo, well done.

Hi Nedim,
Thaks to your photo, I wille have learned something today.
This is a very good macro, you were so lucky to catch this insect. Good focus and POV. Colors are very warm.
Like cedrick wrote in his comment, I went on Google and look for «genus ameles» and I saw a picture very similar.
TFS, Nedim.
