While I was in my cocoa plantation, I managed to find a grasshopper that was very different from other grasshoppers in general, this grasshopper has a body shape that tends to be flat when viewed laterally, and this grasshopper also has a green color that is very similar to the color of the surrounding leaves. This color makes this grasshopper easily camouflaged among the surrounding leaves, in my area this insect is often called Darut Jen and some small children really don't like this insect because its shape looks a little scary. What makes me very interested in this insect is its two antennae which are quite long, and the grasshopper I photographed is probably a young grasshopper.

Besides green, this grasshopper also comes in brown, but I rarely find it. This grasshopper can also grow to a relatively large size and sometimes this grasshopper often enters my house, especially during the rainy season.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this leaf grasshopper here.
