MONOMAD: Macrophotography Of Melanoplus (Grasshopper)
To take part in today's #monomad contest, I want to show you some macro photos of an animal called a Melanoplus. Today I want to share macro photography with all my friends in this beloved community. While I was looking for an object as usual to share on the hive platform, I found two pairs of grasshopper-type insects mating on the tree they were sitting on, these grasshopper-type insects not paying attention to the movement around them. Even when I approached him, this pair of grasshoppers looked cool and continued to mate, as if the world belonged to the two of them.
I was interested in capturing this very rare moment with a photo and I immediately took out the macro lens, then attached it to my smartphone to document the lovebirds of this grasshopper in a beautiful photo, but when my smartphone camera approached this insect, this pair of grasshoppers occasionally dodged with move from the top to the bottom of the leaf that rests on it. However, I did not give up and with great patience I finally managed to capture it from several different angles.
After successfully catching it through photos, I finally searched for the Latin name of this insect through a google search, and I found that this insect is called Melanoplus. this is a grasshopper type insect that is categorized as large, even so big this grasshopper reaches a length of 5 cm. This type of grasshopper is also known as farmer's pest, because it eats crops from agriculture such as leaves that it lands on, fruit and even flowers and bark from trees.
Here are some photos I want to share with my friends in the black and white community.
