The hooded Beauty

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Spotted this beauty by a fellow mate during the recent trip to the drying forest of Matheran. This Hooded Grasshopper was well hidden away from view along with other dried plants.

Would love to see this beauty in its fresh green body
And surely wanna learn how they change their colours...

Nice sighting of this species. The composition looks fine. Good details. Seems the light was harsh. Is this full frame? Thanks for sharing.

Close to a full frame, it was taken in noon, hence the harsh lighting

Nice to see this. It would have been good if you had used f11 or higher here as the depth of field is not adequate here. Thanks for sharing.
