Subfamily Acridinae

From its shape alone we already know that this is a grasshopper even though it has a very significant difference with grasshoppers in general, this grasshopper has a slender but long body and a very soft color, namely light brown, I myself managed to find this grasshopper while in my cocoa plantation, I found this grasshopper when he was jumping on the grass, his size is relatively small but I have also found this grasshopper with a larger size and that is very rare. Because of its small size, this grasshopper can move and jump very quickly, even I experienced several failures when I wanted to photograph it.

However, this grasshopper jumps more often than it flies, but it can jump very long distances. We must really pay attention to every movement of this grasshopper or we will lose track of it. Even more amazing news is that I managed to photograph this grasshopper using the help of a macro lens, so the results are very satisfying, and the details of its body are clearly visible.
