Short Encounters With Beautiful And Unique Species || Conocephalus Melaenus

Assalamualaikum.. steemian friends wherever you are, how are you today, I hope all goes well and well in your activities on this beautiful day.

I will try to entertain all steemian friends by presenting an interesting post from me, I hope all friends like and feel entertained by my post.

Starting my trip this afternoon, I tried to find a unique animal to be used as a macro photo object, in this macro hunt I met a strange grasshopper named Conocephalus melaenus in scientific terms.

In the area where I live this species is named the black red cricket and in other different areas this species is given different names such as the Black knee grasshopper, or the Black knee cone-headed cricket, I don't know exactly what this animal looks like and how it lives, because it is new first time I came across this beautiful species.

Conocephalus melaenus lives in tropical climates, and has many species scattered in several countries on the Asian continent.

I found this Conocephalus melaenus in a fairly wide expanse of grassland, the photo shoot I took using my smartphone with the help of a 35 mm macro lens, when taking the angle of the picture was very difficult to do and there were many obstacles, because this animal is quite sensitive to human movement, but I'm still trying to shoot some photos.

Taking pictures was even more difficult when a strong gust of wind shook the grass leaves disrupting my concentration and focus, so I made a lot of movements that made Conocephalus melaenus finally leave and disappear into the green grass.
