This is a small grasshopper that was successfully found in the botanical garden, at first glance its shape looks very similar to other grasshoppers in general but this grasshopper has a very unique color which is brown which resembles tree bark, this grasshopper I found on one of the wild plants, even though this grasshopper has a very small size but he is very fast and agile, this grasshopper can also jump very long distances and is also very good at hiding. As we all know, plant-eating insects so the presence of grasshoppers is very disturbing to farmers if there are too many of them. I always think that there are still many types of grasshoppers that I have never seen at all, because the more I go into the forest the more new insect species I find.

As usual, when I found this grasshopper, I was immediately interested in photographing it. I tried photographing this grasshopper from various different angles, but it was very difficult to do because the grasshopper immediately flew away if I moved, so I only managed to photograph this grasshopper from the left side.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this unique grasshopper here.

That brown grasshopper looked so beautiful. But I haven't seen one in the forest for a long time, and hopefully, on my next hunt, I'll find one.

Usually I often find grasshoppers like this in rice fields, and their population is also relatively stable.
Thank you very much for your support my friend 🙏🏻
