Description
Hello friends here you see the:
Oedipoda caerulescens, in Dutch: Blauwvleugelsprinkhaan.
This grasshopper is very rare.
He has blue wings, which you obviously can not see, but there his name comes from.
He adjusts to mimicry.
He fully adapts to its environment.
That you can see in this picture too.
I photographed it on the heath (the Brunsummerheide) not far away from our place, on August 7.
By the way, in Brunssum is a military base where f.e. are working: Americans, British, Canadians, also people from the AWACS.
Our youngest daughter has worked on that base for hobby, as DJ by C.F.N.B.
We had often Americans or British as neighbors, they were usually very pleasant people. Better than what now permanently reside in that house.
You now what, we grasshopper our dirty neighbor away (LOL)
Wishing you all a very lovely weekend, and thank you so much for all your, such nice comments and favs.
Bye friends :D

Excellent photo , dear Mies ! Here is a very common but difficult to photograph, because when flies appear blue and when you pose, is mixed with the soil. I have a number of photos of it

Excellent shot! Not only do we see him beautifully, but we see why we can not see him too. Wonderful capture of this fellow who can seem invisible in front of our eyes. Too bad the same is not true of your neighbors.
