Description

wandering the wild garden of Claire’”small paradise”, “somewhere in the Cevennes”…. discovering the microworld of the grass… The European cousin of Lee’s grasshopper :

"Albino Grasshopper" The Grasshoppers have antennae that are almost always shorter than the body. The most important family is Acrididae, consisting of about 10,000 species… ! Le nom « sauterelle » est réservé par les spécialistes pour certaines espèces orthoptères à antennes longues appartenant à la famille Tettigoniidae (anciennement ensifères). Dans le langage courant le nom est souvent aussi utilisé pour les espèces du sous-ordre Caelifera, qui ont des antennes courtes, mais ces derniers sont plus correctement appelés sauteriaux ou « criquets ».

What I like so much about this series is not directly the captures (which are, of course, superb) but the way you walked there, paying attention on all those small things that normally don't make part of everyday "reality" (which is nothing but an arbitrary choice, based upon survival instinct). There's something mystic in this way of "changing scale".

Half a world away from each other and yet so similar. Great shot of this little guy. Thanks for the "plug" and for sharing. Lee

Le côté "albinos" de l'insecte s'oppose bien d'avec les couleurs. Bien vu. Attention cependant, j'aurais davantage accentué ce contraste.

Très jolie photo Michel ..J'aime regarder bien les criquets ..à voir comme ça il n'a pas l'air nuisible du tout et dire qu'Il entend par son abdomen ça serait pas pratique pour nous d'entendre ains si bas:)
