When my sister and I were cleaning the yard, I suddenly managed to find a large grasshopper on one of the plants. This is a grasshopper that is larger than the other grasshoppers. This grasshopper used to have a very stable population in my area, but now I have found it very often, and the perfect place to look for it is around the rice fields, precisely when the rice planting season arrives. Even though this grasshopper has a large size, it can still jump very fast and fly nimbly, this grasshopper has a very attractive color, namely greenish yellow, on its body it is greenish yellow, there is a red color on the two large legs, and a brown color on its wings, of course this is a very attractive color combination for a grasshopper. Because of its large size, we can immediately see its beauty even from a distance, it is not recommended to photograph this grasshopper using a macro lens because the results will not be very good. When I found this grasshopper, I immediately tried to photograph it, even though I had to experience several failures because the grasshopper jumped to another plant. When the grasshopper was hiding behind the leaves, I still managed to capture its beauty.
