ARMOURPLATED GRASSHOPPER?

in #nature • 5 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone, as most of you folks that follow me know I just adore nature everything about it is truly spectacular and miraculous. I was chilling just taking it all in on our recent weekend away in the North West Province and this cute little guy came hopping past.

Naturally as I do with bugs, pick them up (if they let me) and capture some epic shots.

I use the sky as my backdrop in many pics, I just love how it contrasts and here with his brown colour and blue sky such a lovely combination.

This guy was small and had really short legs so did not have much of a hopping distance. I recaptured him as he tried to escape took some more pics, and then set him free!

I am not too sure what one calls this species but as the title says if you look on his neck it would appear that he has some sort of 'armour plating' he means business for sure albeit his small size or would appear that way ;)
