Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 14 June 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
If someone knows the scientific name of this insect please let me know, I was searching and I think it is from the order Othoptera, family Acrididae!
I Received an email from someone who says that 'It looks like a species of Taenipoda, perhaps T. eques, which belongs to the family Romaleidae, closely related to Acrididae and sometimes included as a subfamily (Romaleinae) within it.' Thank you! Therefore I changed the title of the photo, but left the first lines of description so you can read what species I thought it was!
Photo from the year 2005, Panama.

I think galls in the genus of "scary" from the family of "really big bugs". Nice shot though! Great details. =-)

simply beautiful, love the beating of the grasshopper's wings, and the way in which you captured it. Very very nice work! Nathalie dice: "ay mamá! un grasshopper! Q' bonito!" y fue a traer a su abuela para que también lo viera. =)

WOW!!! I am a big insect lover...but I have never been able to capture anything like this. The detail is amazing, and I feel like I can almost feel the texture of the exoskeleton. Were you using a macro lens??
