Lately I have very rarely gone to the rice field area, there are not many things I can do there because my main job is in the plantation. Today I managed to find a large grasshopper, to be honest I have very rarely found this grasshopper, usually I often find this grasshopper in the rice field area, this grasshopper often perches on trees and wild plants on the edge of the rice field, but today I managed to find this grasshopper in my plantation, precisely on wild leaves, at first I was not aware and I just took a picture of it.

After taking the picture, I just realized that one of the grasshopper's legs was missing, namely the right leg. Now we will see the uniqueness of this grasshopper, its size is relatively larger than other grasshoppers, its color also varies, some are green, some are yellow, coincidentally the grasshopper I found was relatively green. The good news is that this grasshopper is edible and the taste is quite tasty but it still depends on how it is cooked.
