📷 #ColorChallenge💛WednesdayYellow-🦗 Poekilocerus pictus a.k.a The Painted Grasshopper!!! So Colourful! 😊Enjoy Watching!👍

in #colorchallenge6 years ago (edited)

Today, there was this wonderful surprise, waiting for me, on the door handle of our laundry room, which is quite close to our backyard and the abundant greenery around.

The Painted Grasshopper was patiently waiting for me...perhaps thinking that It's Wednesday and I needed something beautiful in "Yellow" to post, today !!! LOL :)

Seriously, the sooner I saw it, I rushed towards my smartphone...camera...whatever I could find and capture this so beautiful creation with some truly amazing creativity by Mother Nature!!!

It sat on the door handle, firm...yet calm n quiet, to be captured and must be thinking...It's "The Photoshoot"!!!

Hope, you will absolutely enjoy these wonderful captures!!! I have also gathered some very basic information about the painted grasshopper!!! Enjoy Reading!!!

OK! Now...If you very carefully observe, The Grasshopper is busy chewing, something that It likes. That is why it is so calm, quiet and patient. See that Left Foreleg...and its very gradual movement towards its mouth. Feeding time, perhaps!!!

I kept on watching and capturing that very slow and very gradual Left foreleg movement. Rest of the body stood still.

and...after sometime, the foreleg moved again, to hold the door handle. Seemed like the meal time is over !!!

and it was back to its original position, holding the door handle tight !!!

After sometime it flew away to be back with the nature!

Thanks for reading & watching!

Wishing you all Good luck, with Lots of Love!!! Cheers!


Blogging…Its Charm & The Reality!!!

Blogging…seems so much fun…!!! Isn’t it! Yes! Ofcourse…it is!...but…trust you me…Blogging is not all that easy…though it seems pretty interesting to get engaged with lot of people on the web. There must be a million sites involved in blogging and all…but I always question how many of them actually produce original quality content that is really beneficial or purposeful… and for some it’s the same content, slightly modified here and there…which is indeed a sad state of affairs!!!

A photo of a grasshopper on trending. 150$. A grasshopper, for fuck's sake. Fucking marvelous, this is what steemit is all about.

Honestly, I am literally scared of bugs. I know these don't attack, still I feel so scared getting near or even that close. You have captured it so so well. These are wonderfully astonishing shots, so close, so amazing. Just loved your depiction, you got some great story telling and narrating skills, sure about that. On the whole a very remarkable post and I can feel your love and admiration for nature. Keep it up.

Really ! That surprises me. My brother can make them sit on his hand, though its very odd feeling because of its spiny little claws that prick, coz I tried it once. Now its just getting close to click!
Thank you so much !!@cryptofairy Absolutely appreciate that kind gesture.

OMG! I have never seen such a colorful grasshopper. You have really done such a commendable job by taking its closeup shots. So close,so clear, I just can't believe such wonderful creatures co-exist and that nature has created them with par-excellence.

Wow, that grasshopper looks so unique. The only grasshoppers that I saw before were colored green and brown. I'd imagine the reaction of my brother if he saw that in the door knob because he is scared of bugs. Thanks for sharing this I enjoyed reading it. Have a great day ahead!

Thank you so much !!! @sgbonus Truly appreciate.
Am glad you shared that, infact there are many who do get scared of these bugs.

Hahaha Yes that is true. You're welcome!

Wow, such a nice colored grasshopper. I love the picture and the story to it. :D :D Can't wait for more. :D

excellent photography @amisharma sir !!! ... and what a beautiful creature ..if you haven’t written describing about it, some would have thought its an art work..
I think that’s why, its name "painted grasshopper" I guess.

Awesome capture :-))
