Just a Little Grasshopper…

I’m seeing grasshoppers quite often when out in nature. Or perhaps I’ve simply become more observant.
I think this might be a Mediterranean Splendid Grasshopper (Heteracris littoralis).

Not the most colorful insect, but certainly full of interesting details.

Grasshoppers are charming little creatures, and truly impressive jumpers!
This species can be found in Cyprus well into winter, so perhaps I’ll come across a few more.

    I can see the “creature” part, but I might need a bit more imagination for the “charming” one! 😂 Fantastic macro work, Anita, the details are sharp! ✨
