Five grasshoppers

in #photography9 years ago

Grasshoppers are everywhere in The Netherlands at the moment; when you don't see them, you still hear them.

Here are three I saw the other day:

The common green grasshopper (Omocestus viridulus), wekkertje in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/125s

The meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus), krasser in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO160, f5.6, 1/500s

The bog meadow bush-cricket (Metrioptera brachyptera), heidesabelsprinkhaan in Dutch:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f8, 1/60s

Two older photos; the rare large marsh grasshopper (Stethophyma grossum), moerassprinkhaan in Dutch:


Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f6.3, 1/100s

The huge great green bush-cricket (Tettigonia viridissima), grote groene sabelsprinkhaan in Dutch:


Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO200, f6.3, 1/200s

Thanks for watching!

Sort:  

brilliant. so much clarity in it.

I love the green head the third one has there.
Looks funky! ;)

Great shots!

that would be a good feast for me. it is bit hard to find a big one now here.
when i was a child my father would catch a lot of them,,and fried them for our meals.

Also here in Italy therea re many Grasshoppers at the moment and they "sing" for hours and hours ^_^

It's a nice sound of summer, as long as they don't keep you awake 8-).

Great shots. From me apvote.

Our grasshoppers pale in comparison! What beautiful bugs! Upvoted & resteemed.

Thanks!

Surely, there must be various grasshoppers in California?

In my neighborhood, I have only seen small brown grasshoppers. I am sure they are cool looking up close but I haven't taken the time to do that. I think I have seen a decent sized green one once...years ago. I will keep searching. :)

These are just beautiful!

The second grasshopper is so cute!

Good close up shot of the grass hoppers
