Famili Acrididae//one of the grasshoppers that I came across in this image search

Hello friends, I'm back in this beloved community to share some images. This time, I'll be sharing an insect found in my area, and some people consider it a pest due to its overpopulation, which can be a nuisance to farmers. It's a grasshopper, a herbivorous insect with antennae that are almost always shorter than its body. The sound some species make is usually produced by rubbing their hind femurs against their front wings.

So, keep following my blog to see some of the images I've captured of this grasshopper, along with a short post from me.

That afternoon, I took some time to go behind the house, where there were bushes, and there I looked for some photos.

I managed to find some of what I was looking for, including mushrooms and grasshoppers, which I will share at this meeting. These are some of the strong images captured behind the house, which is the main location on the mountain, so the images are of the bushes behind it.

Regarding the weather, it was a bit cloudy, as I mentioned above, so the photos are taken in the afternoon.

The grasshopper I found at that time was brownish, which at first glance I saw. It almost resembled the small wooden twig in color, and I think that's an adaptation made by the insect. Grasshoppers also prefer moist, open areas with lots of grass and other low plants, although some other species live in forests or wilderness.

And as I said above, some farmers consider this insect a pest because many grasshopper species that live in grasslands often attack farmers' fields. An overpopulation of grasshoppers will be very detrimental to farmers if they attack crops on plantations.

Okay, friends, those are some of the images I captured of these insects. I'd also like to mention that in some countries, grasshoppers are consumed as a source of protein. Likewise, in my area, some fairly large grasshoppers are often consumed as a substitute for fish.

I hope you all enjoyed and enjoyed what I shared. Thank you very much to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog. Your support, comments, and input are invaluable to me, allowing me to create a better blog in the future.

That's all for now.
Greetings, everyone.
See you in my next blog.
