Today, I bring to you the Grasshopper from the genus Spathosternum and the moth Hypena rostralis.

The Spathosternum grasshoppers are active in warm daylight, while the Hypena rostralis moths begin to appear as evening approaches. I love the contrast in their behavior and appearance — it’s truly fascinating.

Tomorrow, I hope to encounter more of them, and I will showcase my findings to you all! Come on — these pictures are captivating.
