My travels in Turkey:

In the scenic Bitlis valley of Eastern Turkey (see "Map") I found hundreds of these colorful, flightless Tettigonids in a pine forest. Here a male and a female are wondering about each others different anatomy :-).

ID: On the Net there is a checklist of all Turkish Orthoptera by Prof. Mustafa Ünal of Bolu (www.members.tripod.com/Cesa88/orthtr.htm) but my-o-my it's long (622 species)! The author helped me for ID: it's Uvarovistia satunini (Uvarov, 1934), a species known from Eastern Turkey (and maybe elsewhere). Thanks a lot, Prof. Ünal!

And why does a travelling cyclist get into a pine forest: to take a nap, of course!

Lieber Dieter,
Sehe, dass Du auch Schwierigkeiten mit der Bestimmung hast. Schön sind sie auf alle Fälle Deine Hoppers. Und das Männlein scheint sich sehr für den "Säbel" des Weibchens zu interessieren. Interessantes und natürliches Bild. Hoffe, dass Du eine Antwort bekommst, allerdings sind diese Kreaturen nicht sehr beliebt.
Noch nichts gehört von Peter :-(
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hi Dietrich.
What a full of attractive object scene. I also like its 3d-looking. Superb details of tiniest things as well as nice natural colours and lights. Your camera works great in your hands (exactly as others). Best wishes.
Alexei.

Nice detailed top-shot Dietrich. The natural environment seems to add well here with its earth tones & complimentary color.
Two is not a crowd in this case ;)
Have a great weekend my friend!

Hallo Dieter!

Dein Nickerchen im Wald hat sich gelohnt, die Insekten sind wunderschön und hochinteressant, vor allem weil die Art offenbar schwierig zu bestimmen ist. Ich stelle auch mit Freude fest, dass sich der Kauf der neuen Kamera gelohnt hat, die Bilder sind sogar in TN-Qualität gut.

As liebs Grüessli

Ahhh... thanks to you i learn something about of the insect fauna of this amazing country MF Dietrich. Perfect presentation of this couple with great POV/DOF and awesome details.
TFS and have a nice night and WE!

Hello Dietrich,
Great capture of this couple of Tettigonids. Colours are very nice. There is a king of smile :) on the back of the female! I hope they let you take a nap... because this family is quite noisy! Have a nice weekend,
Catherine
